    Package : pidgin-otr
    CVE ID : CVE-2015-8833

    Stefan Sperling discovered that pidgin-otr, a Pidgin plugin
    implementing Off-The-Record messaging, contained a use-after-free
    bug. This could be used by a malicious remote user to intentionally
    crash the application, thus causing a denial-of-service.

    For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
    version 4.0.1-1+deb8u1.

    For the testing (stretch) and unstable (sid) distributions, this
    problem has been fixed in version 4.0.2-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your pidgin-otr packages.
