CHAT: Pidgin MSN MSNP2P Message Integer Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Pidgin MSN MSNP2P. A successful attack can lead to a integer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the user.
Extended Description
Pidgin is prone to multiple integer-overflow vulnerabilities because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. Successful exploits may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of a user running the software. Failed exploit attempts likely cause denial-of-service conditions. Versions prior to Pidgin 2.4.3 are vulnerable.
