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
out-of-bounds read vulnerability. This could result in a denial of service
or copy data from memory to the file, resulting in an information leak if
the file is sent to another user.
