#3568: BMP file memory DoS vulnerability
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
Reporter:  kuscsikp  |       Owner:  MarkDoliner
    Type:  defect    |      Status:  new        
Priority:  minor     |   Component:  ICQ        
 Version:  2.2.1     |    Keywords:  BMP DoS

---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 Pidgin is vulnerable to TinyBMP DoS attack.
 If we try to send (by "insert image") a
 corrupt bmp file, like this:
 158.197.33.91/~kuscsikp/overflow/1.bmp
 , the memory usage can be high on both sides.
