According to the versions of the pidgin package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An issue was discovered in Pidgin before 2.14.9. A remote attacker who can spoof DNS responses can     redirect a client connection to a malicious server. The client will perform TLS certificate verification     of the malicious domain name instead of the original XMPP service domain, allowing the attacker to take     over control over the XMPP connection and to obtain user credentials and all communication content. This     is similar to CVE-2022-24968. (CVE-2022-26491)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - pidgin: Out-of-bounds write in purple_markup_unescape_entity triggered by invalid XML (CVE-2017-2640)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol in Pidgin. Specially crafted     MXIT data sent via the server could potentially result in a null pointer dereference. A malicious server     or an attacker who intercepts the network traffic can send invalid data to trigger this vulnerability and     cause a crash. (CVE-2016-2365)

  - A denial of service vulnerability 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 server or an     attacker who intercepts the network traffic can send invalid data to trigger this vulnerability and cause     a crash. (CVE-2016-2366)

  - 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 can send an invalid size for an avatar 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 avatar is sent to another user. (CVE-2016-2367)

  - Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities exist in the handling of the MXIT protocol in Pidgin. Specially     crafted MXIT data sent via the server could result in multiple buffer overflows, potentially resulting in     code execution or memory disclosure. (CVE-2016-2368)

  - A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol in Pidgin. Specially     crafted MXIT data sent via the server could potentially result in a denial of service vulnerability. A     malicious server can send a packet starting with a NULL byte triggering the vulnerability. (CVE-2016-2369)

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol in Pidgin. Specially crafted     MXIT data sent from the server could potentially result in an out-of-bounds read. A malicious server or     man-in-the-middle attacker can send invalid data to trigger this vulnerability. (CVE-2016-2370)

  - An out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol in Pidgin. Specially     crafted MXIT data sent via the server could cause memory corruption resulting in code execution.
    (CVE-2016-2371)

  - 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. (CVE-2016-2372)

  - A denial of service vulnerability 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 server or     user can send an invalid mood to trigger this vulnerability. (CVE-2016-2373)

  - An exploitable memory corruption vulnerability exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol in Pidgin.
    Specially crafted MXIT MultiMX message sent via the server can result in an out-of-bounds write leading to     memory disclosure and code execution. (CVE-2016-2374)

  - An exploitable out-of-bounds read exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol in Pidgin. Specially crafted     MXIT contact information sent from the server can result in memory disclosure. (CVE-2016-2375)

  - A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol in Pidgin. Specially crafted     MXIT data sent from the server could potentially result in arbitrary code execution. A malicious server or     an attacker who intercepts the network traffic can send an invalid size for a packet which will trigger a     buffer overflow. (CVE-2016-2376)

  - A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol in Pidgin. Specially crafted     MXIT data sent by the server could potentially result in an out-of-bounds write of one byte. A malicious     server can send a negative content-length in response to a HTTP request triggering the vulnerability.
    (CVE-2016-2377)

  - A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol Pidgin. Specially crafted data     sent via the server could potentially result in a buffer overflow, potentially resulting in memory     corruption. A malicious server or an unfiltered malicious user can send negative length values to trigger     this vulnerability. (CVE-2016-2378)

  - The Mxit protocol uses weak encryption when encrypting user passwords, which might allow attackers to (1)     decrypt hashed passwords by leveraging knowledge of client registration codes or (2) gain login access by     eavesdropping on login messages and re-using the hashed passwords. (CVE-2016-2379)

  - An information leak exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol in Pidgin. Specially crafted MXIT data     sent to the server could potentially result in an out-of-bounds read. A user could be convinced to enter a     particular string which would then get converted incorrectly and could lead to a potential out-of-bounds     read. (CVE-2016-2380)

  - A directory traversal exists in the handling of the MXIT protocol in Pidgin. Specially crafted MXIT data     sent from the server could potentially result in an overwrite of files. A malicious server or someone with     access to the network traffic can provide an invalid filename for a splash image triggering the     vulnerability. (CVE-2016-4323)

  - An issue was discovered in Pidgin before 2.14.9. A remote attacker who can spoof DNS responses can     redirect a client connection to a malicious server.
