There is no fixed version for Centos:6 pidgin.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream pidgin package and not the pidgin package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.
The gdk_pixbuf__gif_image_load function in gdk-pixbuf/io-gif.c in gdk-pixbuf before 2.23.5 does not properly handle certain return values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted GIF image file.
