Description Josh Bressers 2009-05-12 21:59:19 UTC

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Pidgin initiates file
transfers. If a Pidgin client initiates a file transfer, and the remote
target sends a malformed response, it triggers a buffer overflow.

Comment 3 Josh Bressers 2009-05-12 22:18:44 UTC

This flaw only affects the Jabber protocol.
