SERVER-OTHER -- Snort has detected traffic exploiting vulnerabilities in a server in the network.
SERVER-OTHER Pidgin MXIT file transfer length memory disclosure attempt
An information leak exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol in Pidgin. Specially crafted MXIT data sent via the server could potentially result in an out-of-bounds read. A malicious user, server, or man-in-the-middle attacker can send an invalid size for a file transfer which will trigger an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. This could result in a denial of service or copy data from memory to the file, resulting in an information leak if the file is sent to another user.
