The version of Pidgin installed on the remote host is earlier than 2.10.1 and is potentially affected by the following issues :

  • A failure to validate input during the processing of UTF-8 SILC protocol messages can cause the application to crash. (CVE-2011-3594, CVE-2011-4603)

  • A failure to validate input during the processing of UTF-8 Oscar protocol buddy authorization request and response messages can cause the application to crash.
    (CVE-2011-4601)

  • An error exists in the validation of voice and chat messages in the XMPP protocol that can cause the application to crash. (CVE-2011-4602)
