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.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2013-6487 is a remote parsing flaw in Pidgin's Gadu-Gadu support before 2.10.8. A specially large Content-Length value can cause an integer overflow and then a buffer overflow. The public record says impact is unspecified, so urgency depends on whether legacy Pidgin/libpurple with Gadu-Gadu is still present. Exposure is most plausible on legacy systems running Pidgin/libpurple before 2.10.8 with Gadu-Gadu protocol support enabled or installed through old distribution packages. Treat this as a legacy software cleanup item unless Pidgin/libpurple is still deployed. If present, prioritize remediation because the flaw is remotely triggerable and memory-corruption based, even though public impact detail is incomplete. Mitigation focus: Inventory Pidgin and libpurple packages on endpoints and shared systems.; Upgrade Pidgin/libpurple to vendor-fixed packages, including Pidgin 2.10.8 or later where applicable.; Follow Linux distribution advisories for package-specific fixed versions..
