CPE, which stands for Common Platform Enumeration, is a standardized scheme for naming hardware, software, and operating systems. CPE provides a structured naming scheme to uniquely identify and classify information technology systems, platforms, and packages based on certain attributes such as vendor, product name, version, update, edition, and language.
CWE, or Common Weakness Enumeration, is a comprehensive list and categorization of software weaknesses and vulnerabilities. It serves as a common language for describing software security weaknesses in architecture, design, code, or implementation that can lead to vulnerabilities.
CAPEC, which stands for Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification, is a comprehensive, publicly available resource that documents common patterns of attack employed by adversaries in cyber attacks. This knowledge base aims to understand and articulate common vulnerabilities and the methods attackers use to exploit them.

Pidgin 2.4.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a long filename that contains certain characters, as demonstrated using an MSN message that triggers the crash in the msn_slplink_process_msg function.
Improper Input Validation The product receives input or data, but it does
not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the

EPSS
EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.
EPSS Score
The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile
The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

Pidgin is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
Successful exploits will cause the affected application to crash, effectively denying service to legitimate users.
Pidgin 2.4.1 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
NOTE: This issue was previously thought to be a subset of the vulnerability documented in BID 29956 (Pidgin 'msn_slplink_process_msg()' Multiple Integer Overflow Vulnerabilities), but has been given its own record to properly document the vulnerability.
Sending a filename that contains the maximum number of allowable characters and that includes the characters defined by the hex data below will crash the application.
