Component:  winpidgin (gtk)  |   Version:  2.10.6  
 Keywords:  security         |  
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
 It appears that the pidgin libnss library shipped with the Windows release
 is vulnerable to CVE-2012-0441 and perhaps other issues.

 {{{
 % strings nss3.dll|grep -i  3.1

 It may also be vulnerable to MITM ala CVE-2009-3555:

 Is Pidgin shipping NSS 3.12.5.0? It appears that 3.12.6 is may be the way
 to not be vulnerable to the above MITM issue:
