The XMPP protocol plugin in libpurple in Pidgin before 2.10.8 does not properly determine whether the from address in an iq reply is consistent with the to address in an iq request, which allows remote attackers to spoof iq traffic or cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted reply.

CVE-2013-6483 [MEDIUM] CVE-2013-6483 pidgin: Possible spoofing using iq replies in XMPP protocol plugin
CVE-2013-6483 pidgin: Possible spoofing using iq replies in XMPP protocol plugin
It was found that the XMPP protocol plugin in pidgin does not verify iq replies. The XMPP protocol plugin failed to ensure that iq replies came from the person they were sent to. A remote user could send a spoofed iq reply and attempt to guess the iq id. This could allow an attacker to inject fake data or trigger a null pointer dereference.
