Good morning,

Apologies if you were already told about this. I noticed the following 
commit (linked from 
http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2014/CVE-2014-3775.html):

https://hg.pidgin.im/pidgin/main/rev/fd11790cc4d6

It appears to be missing this commit:

https://github.com/wojtekka/libgadu/commit/f45ff34dfe2edab54d6fa185e8b87246ab100bd4

I looked in pidgin-2.10.9.tar.bz2 and it was also using 
"gg_fix32(pkt->rcount > 256)" instead of "gg_fix32(pkt->rcount) > 256".

Cheers,
