pidgin is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability exists as it was discovered that on 32-bit platforms, the Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2008:0584 provided an incomplete fix for the integer overflow flaw affecting Pidginβs MSN protocol handler. If a Pidgin client receives a specially-crafted MSN message, it may be possible to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running Pidgin.
