[Bug 1022012] [NEW] (CVE-2012-3374) pidgin-2.10.5: MXit buffer overflow
*** This bug is a security vulnerability *** Public security bug reported: A new update, version 2.10.5, to the open source Pidgin instant messaging program has been released, closing an important security hole. Previous versions of Pidgin contained a vulnerability, discovered by Ulf Härnhammar, in the MXit component, where parsing incoming messages with inline images led to a buffer overflow. The developers say that this could have been exploited by an attacker to execute arbitrary code on a victim's system by using a specially crafted message. Versions up to and including 2.10.4 are affected. Upgrading to Pidgin 2.10.5 fixes the problem; all users are advised to upgrade. Other bugs, including an issue that caused the application to crash, have also been fixed. http://www.pidgin.im/news/security/index.php?id=64 ** Affects: pidgin (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: pidgin (Fedora) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: gentoo Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** CVE added: http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi- bin/cvename.cgi?name=2012-3374 ** Summary changed: - Pidgin IM client update fixes buffer overflow vulnerability + (CVE-2012-3374) pidgin-2.10.5: MXit buffer overflow ** Bug watch added: Gentoo Bugzilla #425076 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425076 ** Also affects: gentoo via https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425076 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Bug watch added: Red Hat Bugzilla #837319 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=837319 ** Also affects: pidgin (Fedora) via https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=837319 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1022012 Title: (CVE-2012-3374) pidgin-2.10.5: MXit buffer overflow To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/1022012/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
