[Backports-security-announce] Security Update for pidgin

Gerfried Fuchs uploaded new packages for pidgin which fixed the
following security problem:

CVE-2009-3615

The OSCAR protocol plugin in libpurple in Pidgin before 2.6.3 and
Adium before 1.3.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (application crash) via crafted contact-list data for
(1) ICQ and possibly (2) AIM, as demonstrated by the SIM IM client.

For the lenny-backports distribution the problem has been fixed in
version 2.6.3-1~bpo50+1.

For the squeeze and sid distributions the problem has been fixed in
version 2.6.3-1.

Upgrade instructions

If you don't use pinning (see [1]) you have to update the packages
