+    * Fix buffer overflow when parsing a malformed HTTP response with chunked Transfer-Encoding. (Discovered by Matt Jones, Volvent) (CVE-2013-6485)
+    * Better handling of HTTP proxy responses with negative Content-Lengths. (Discovered by Matt Jones, Volvent)

+    * Fix handling of multibyte UTF-8 characters in smiley themes. (#15756)
+
+  * '''Windows-Specific Changes'''
+    * When clicking file:// links, show the file in Explorer rather than attempting to run the file. This reduces the chances of a user clicking on a link and mistakenly running a malicious file. (Originally discovered by James Burton, Insomnia Security. Rediscovered by Yves Younan of Sourcefire VRT.) (CVE-2013-6486)
+    * Fix Tcl scripts. (#15520)

+    * Disabled buddy list import/export from/to server (it didn't work anymore). Buddy list synchronization will be implemented in 3.0.0.
+    * Disabled new account registration and password change options, as it didn't work either. Account registration also caused a crash. Both functions are available using official Gadu-Gadu website.
+
+  * '''IRC'''
+    * Fix bug where a malicious server or man-in-the-middle could trigger a crash by not sending enough arguments with various messages. (Discovered by Daniel Atallah) (CVE-2014-0020)

+  * '''SILC'''
+    * Correctly set whiteboard dimensions in whiteboard sessions.

+  * '''SIMPLE'''
+    * Fix buffer overflow with remote code execution potential. (Discovered by Yves Younan of Sourcefire VRT) (CVE-2013-6490)
+
+  * '''XMPP'''
+    * Prevent spoofing of iq replies by verifying that the 'from' address matches the 'to' address of the iq request. (Discovered by Fabian Yamaguchi and Christian Wressnegger of the University of Goettingen, fixed by Thijs Alkemade) (CVE-2013-6483)
