Pidgin Security Advisory

Title	Remote crash in MSN protocol plugin
Date	2011-08-20
CVE Name	CVE-2011-3184
Discovered By	Marius Wachtler
Description	Incorrect handling of HTTP 100 responses in the MSN protocol plugin can cause the application to attempt to access memory that it does not have access to. This only affects users who have turned on the HTTP connection method for their accounts (it's off by default). This might only be triggerable by a malicious server and not a malicious peer. We believe remote code execution is not possible.
Fixed in Revision	2379d8500566
Fixed in Version	2.10.0
Fix	Correctly take into account the size of HTTP 100 response when parsing server messages.
