CVE-2016-2372 (GCVE-0-2016-2372)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2017-01-06 21:00 – Updated: 2024-08-05 23:24
VLAI?
Summary
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.
Severity ?
No CVSS data available.
