The version of Pidgin installed on the remote host is earlier than 2.6.1. Such versions are reportedly affected by one or more of following issues :

  • The Yahoo protocol plugin may crash when receiving an IM from any user that contains a URL. (CVE-2009-3025)

  • The XMPP protocol plugin can be tricked into establishing an insecure connection by a malicious man-in-the-middle by causing libpurple to use the older IQ-based login and then not offering TLS/SSL. (CVE-2009-3026)
