CVE-2011-1091 1 Pidgin 1 Pidgin 2023-02-12 4.0 MEDIUM N/A
libymsg.c in the Yahoo! protocol plugin in libpurple in Pidgin 2.6.0 through 2.7.10 allows (1) remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a malformed YMSG notification packet, and allows (2) remote Yahoo! servers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a malformed YMSG SMS message.
CVE-2010-1624 1 Pidgin 1 Pidgin 2023-02-12 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
The msn_emoticon_msg function in slp.c in the MSN protocol plugin in libpurple in Pidgin before 2.7.0 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a custom emoticon in a malformed SLP message.
CVE-2010-0013 2 Adium, Pidgin 2 Adium, Pidgin 2023-02-12 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
Directory traversal vulnerability in slp.c in the MSN protocol plugin in libpurple in Pidgin 2.6.4 and Adium 1.3.8 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in an application/x-msnmsgrp2p MSN emoticon (aka custom smiley) request, a related issue to CVE-2004-0122. NOTE: it could be argued that this is resultant from a vulnerability in which an emoticon download request is processed even without a preceding text/x-mms-emoticon message that announced availability of the emoticon.
CVE-2009-1376 1 Pidgin 1 Pidgin 2023-02-12 9.3 HIGH N/A
Multiple integer overflows in the msn_slplink_process_msg functions in the MSN protocol handler in (1) libpurple/protocols/msn/slplink.c and (2) libpurple/protocols/msnp9/slplink.c in Pidgin (formerly Gaim) before 2.5.6 on 32-bit platforms allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed SLP message with a crafted offset value, leading to buffer overflows. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-2927.
CVE-2008-2927 2 Adium, Pidgin 2 Adium, Pidgin 2023-02-12 6.8 MEDIUM N/A
Multiple integer overflows in the msn_slplink_process_msg functions in the MSN protocol handler in (1) libpurple/protocols/msn/slplink.c and (2) libpurple/protocols/msnp9/slplink.c in Pidgin before 2.4.3 and Adium before 1.3 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed SLP message with a crafted offset value, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-2955.
CVE-2009-1373 1 Pidgin 1 Pidgin 2023-02-12 7.1 HIGH N/A
Buffer overflow in the XMPP SOCKS5 bytestream server in Pidgin (formerly Gaim) before 2.5.6 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving an outbound XMPP file transfer. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
CVE-2008-2956 1 Pidgin 1 Pidgin 2023-02-12 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
** DISPUTED ** Memory leak in Pidgin 2.0.0, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via malformed XML documents. NOTE: this issue has been disputed by the upstream vendor, who states: "I was never able to identify a scenario under which a problem occurred and the original reporter wasn't able to supply any sort of reproduction details."
CVE-2022-26491 2 Debian, Pidgin 2 Debian Linux, Pidgin 2022-06-09 4.3 MEDIUM 5.9 MEDIUM
An issue was discovered in Pidgin before 2.14.9. A remote attacker who can spoof DNS responses can redirect a client connection to a malicious server. The client will perform TLS certificate verification of the malicious domain name instead of the original XMPP service domain, allowing the attacker to take over control over the XMPP connection and to obtain user credentials and all communication content. This is similar to CVE-2022-24968.
CVE-2012-1257 1 Pidgin 1 Pidgin 2019-11-21 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
Pidgin 2.10.0 uses DBUS for certain cleartext communication, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information via a dbus session monitor.
CVE-2017-2640 3 Debian, Pidgin, Redhat 7 Debian Linux, Pidgin, Enterprise Linux Desktop and 4 more 2019-10-09 7.5 HIGH 9.8 CRITICAL
An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the way Pidgin before 2.12.0 processed XML content. A malicious remote server could potentially use this flaw to crash Pidgin or execute arbitrary code in the context of the pidgin process.
CVE-2016-1000030 2 Pidgin, Suse 2 Pidgin, Linux Enterprise Server 2018-11-14 7.5 HIGH 9.8 CRITICAL
Pidgin version <2.11.0 contains a vulnerability in X.509 Certificates imports specifically due to improper check of return values from gnutls_x509_crt_init() and gnutls_x509_crt_import() that can result in code execution. This attack appear to be exploitable via custom X.509 certificate from another client. This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in 2.11.0.
CVE-2014-3694 4 Canonical, Debian, Opensuse and 1 more 4 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Opensuse and 1 more 2018-10-30 6.4 MEDIUM N/A
The (1) bundled GnuTLS SSL/TLS plugin and the (2) bundled OpenSSL SSL/TLS plugin in libpurple in Pidgin before 2.10.10 do not properly consider the Basic Constraints extension during verification of X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted certificate.
CVE-2007-4999 1 Pidgin 1 Pidgin 2018-10-15 4.3 MEDIUM N/A
libpurple in Pidgin 2.1.0 through 2.2.1, when using HTML logging, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL dereference and application crash) via a message that contains invalid HTML data, a different vector than CVE-2007-4996.
CVE-2007-4996 1 Pidgin 1 Pidgin 2018-10-15 4.3 MEDIUM N/A
libpurple in Pidgin before 2.2.1 does not properly handle MSN nudge messages from users who are not on the receiver's buddy list, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a nudge message that triggers an access of "an invalid memory location."
CVE-2008-2955 1 Pidgin 1 Pidgin 2018-10-11 4.3 MEDIUM N/A
Pidgin 2.4.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a long filename that contains certain characters, as demonstrated using an MSN message that triggers the crash in the msn_slplink_process_msg function.
CVE-2011-3185 2 Microsoft, Pidgin 2 Windows, Pidgin 2018-10-09 9.3 HIGH N/A
gtkutils.c in Pidgin before 2.10.0 on Windows allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary programs via a file: URL in a message.
CVE-2009-2404 4 Aol, Gnome, Mozilla and 1 more 7 Instant Messenger, Evolution, Firefox and 4 more 2018-10-03 9.3 HIGH N/A
Heap-based buffer overflow in a regular-expression parser in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) before 3.12.3, as used in Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, Evolution, Pidgin, and AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), allows remote SSL servers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) field of an X.509 certificate, related to the cert_TestHostName function.
CVE-2011-4939 1 Pidgin 1 Pidgin 2018-01-17 6.4 MEDIUM N/A
The pidgin_conv_chat_rename_user function in gtkconv.c in Pidgin before 2.10.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) by changing a nickname while in an XMPP chat room.
CVE-2012-1178 1 Pidgin 1 Pidgin 2018-01-17 5.0 MEDIUM N/A
The msn_oim_report_to_user function in oim.c in the MSN protocol plugin in libpurple in Pidgin before 2.10.2 allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via an OIM message that lacks UTF-8 encoding.
CVE-2012-2369 2 Cypherpunks, Pidgin 2 Pidgin-otr, Pidgin 2018-01-05 7.5 HIGH N/A
Format string vulnerability in the log_message_cb function in otr-plugin.c in the Off-the-Record Messaging (OTR) pidgin-otr plugin before 3.2.1 for Pidgin might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in data that generates a log message.
