A denial of service vulnerability exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol in Pidgin. Specially crafted MXIT data sent via the server could potentially result in a null pointer dereference. A malicious server or an attacker who intercepts the network traffic can send invalid data to trigger th...

CVE-2016-2373

A denial of service vulnerability exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol in Pidgin. Specially crafted MXIT data sent via the server could potentially result in an out-of-bounds read. A malicious server or user can send an invalid mood to trigger this vulnerability...

CVE-2016-2372

An information leak exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol in Pidgin. Specially crafted MXIT data sent via the server could potentially result in an out-of-bounds read. A malicious user, server, or man-in-the-middle attacker can send an invalid size for a file transfer which will trigger an...

CVE-2016-4323

A directory traversal exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol in Pidgin. Specially crafted MXIT data sent from the server could potentially result in an overwrite of files. A malicious server or someone with access to the network traffic can provide an invalid filename for a splash image...

CVE-2016-2380

CVE-2016-2380 affects Pidgin via an information leak in MXIT protocol handling. Specially crafted MXIT data could trigger an out-of-bounds read when a user enters a string that is mis-converted, per multiple connected advisories (e.g., Nessus/Red Hat EulerOS entries). The vulnerability is limited...

CVE-2016-2374

The CVE-2016-2374 entry affects Pidgin's MXIT protocol handling. The vulnerability is an exploitable memory corruption in the MXIT MultiMX message handling, where specially crafted server messages can trigger an out-of-bounds write, leading to memory disclosure and potential code execution. Affec...

CVE-2016-2373

CVE-2016-2373 affects the Pidgin MXIT protocol handling. Across connected sources, a malicious server or user can send specially crafted MXIT data (e.g., invalid mood) that can trigger a crash through a null pointer dereference or an out-of-bounds read/write in the MXIT processing, depending on t...

CVE-2016-2376

A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol in Pidgin. Specially crafted MXIT data sent from the server could potentially result in arbitrary code execution. A malicious server or an attacker who intercepts the network traffic can send an invalid size for a packet...

CVE-2016-2378

A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol Pidgin. Specially crafted data sent via the server could potentially result in a buffer overflow, potentially resulting in memory corruption. A malicious server or an unfiltered malicious user can send negative length...

CVE-2016-2365

A denial of service vulnerability exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol in Pidgin. Specially crafted MXIT data sent via the server could potentially result in a null pointer dereference. A malicious server or an attacker who intercepts the network traffic can send invalid data to trigger th...

CVE-2016-2371

An out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol in Pidgin. Specially crafted MXIT data sent via the server could cause memory corruption resulting in code execution...

CVE-2016-2377

A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol in Pidgin. Specially crafted MXIT data sent by the server could potentially result in an out-of-bounds write of one byte. A malicious server can send a negative content-length in response to a HTTP request triggering the...

CVE-2016-4323

A directory traversal exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol in Pidgin. Specially crafted MXIT data sent from the server could potentially result in an overwrite of files. A malicious server or someone with access to the network traffic can provide an invalid filename for a splash image...

CVE-2016-2379

The Mxit protocol uses weak encryption when encrypting user passwords, which might allow attackers to 1 decrypt hashed passwords by leveraging knowledge of client registration codes or 2 gain login access by eavesdropping on login messages and re-using the hashed passwords...
