CVE-2013-6478

Publication date 5 February 2014

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

gtkimhtml.c in Pidgin before 2.10.8 does not properly interact with underlying library support for wide Pango layouts, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a long URL that is examined with a tooltip.
