Description:
A weakness has been reported in Pidgin, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The weakness is caused due to the application misinterpreting an ICQ web message as an ICQ SMS message. This can be exploited to trigger an out-of-memory condition and terminate the application via a specially crafted ICQ web message.
