Detail
| Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in pidgin: A series of specially crafted file transfer requests can cause clients to reference invalid memory. The user must have accepted one of the file transfer requests (CVE-2012-2214). Incoming messages with certain characters or character encodings can cause clients to crash (CVE-2012-2318). This update provides pidgin 2.10.4, which is not vulnerable to these issues. |
