1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-6487)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.
Integer overflow in libpurple/protocols/gg/lib/http.c in the Gadu-Gadu (gg) parser in Pidgin before 2.10.8 allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via a large Content-Length value, which triggers a buffer overflow.
