Hi folks. I'm not sure whether this should be considered
security-sensitive or not, but we've had a number of crashes reported on
pidgin in Fedora:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=720781
The bug is public as these were all sent by abrt collecting info on
Pidgin crashes and they seem to be all over the place. I have not much
experience with Pidgin or trying to determine whether or not these might
be considered security flaws, but could you take a look at the bug and
see if might be?
Again, the bug is public but I wanted to give you a heads-up. I don't
believe these are more than crashes, but at least one user in the bug
seems to think these should be security-relevant.
Thanks.
