    Package : pidgin
    Vulnerability : remote code execution
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2012-3374
    Debian Bug : #680661

    Ulf Härnhammar found a buffer overflow in Pidgin, a multi protocol instant messaging client. The vulnerability can be exploited by an incoming
    message in the MXit protocol plugin. A remote attacker may cause a crash,
    and in some circumstances can lead to remote code execution.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.7.3-1+squeeze3.

    For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.10.4-1.1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.10.6-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your pidgin packages.
