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.
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.
