An information leak exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol in Pidgin.
LOW 3.1EPSS 1.76%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.76%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
An information leak exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol in Pidgin. Specially crafted MXIT data sent to the server could potentially result in an out-of-bounds read. A user could be convinced to enter a particular string which would then get converted incorrectly and could lead to a potential out-of-bounds read.
