Changeset: 6436e14bdb9d997dfd73cc7cea1b300c37fa401d
Author:	 Mark Doliner <mark at kingant.net>
Date:	 2014-04-07 23:45 -0700
Branch:	 release-2.x.y
URL: https://hg.pidgin.im/pidgin/main/rev/6436e14bdb9d

Description:

Add bounds checking when parsing emoticon responses in MXit. This fixes
a potential remote crash when parsing a malformed emoticon response.
We'll need to get a CVE ID for this.

Discovered by Yves Younan and Richard Johnson of Sourcefire VRT. Thanks
to Sourcefire VRT for finding this and reporting it to us!
