Zitat:Summary A remote attacker could set a specially-crafted GIF image as their buddy icon that could lead to Pidgin being terminated due to excessive memory use

Description It was found that the gdk-pixbuf GIF image loader routine gdk_pixbuf__gif_image_load() did not properly handle certain return values from its subroutines. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted GIF image, which, once opened in Pidgin, would lead gdk-pixbuf to return a partially initialized pixbuf structure, possibly having huge width and height, which could lead to the application being terminated due excessive memory use.
