Description
The version of Pidgin installed on the remote host is earlier than
2.10.5. As such, it is potentially affected by a stack-based buffer
overflow vulnerability.
An error in the function ‘mxit_show_message’ in the file
‘libpurple/protocols/mxit/markup.c’ can allow a stack-based buffer
overflow to occur when parsing a received message containing inline
images. This can result in application crashes and potentially
arbitrary code execution.
