Publication date 30 July 2010

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The clientautoresp function in family_icbm.c in the oscar protocol plugin in libpurple in Pidgin before 2.7.2 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via an X-Status message that lacks the expected end tag for a (1) desc or (2) title element.
