    Package : pidgin
    CVE ID : CVE-2017-2640

    It was discovered a vulnerability in Pidgin, a multi-protocol instant
    messaging client. A server controlled by an attacker can send an invalid
    XML that can trigger an out-of-bound memory access. This might lead to a
    crash or, in some extreme cases, to remote code execution in the
    client-side.

    For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.11.0-0+deb8u2.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.12.0-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your pidgin packages.
