The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'pidgin' package(s) announced via the DSA-3620-1 advisory. Several vulnerabilities in the MXit protocol support in pidgin, a multi-protocol instant messaging client, could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service, overwrite files, disclose information, or execute arbitrary code

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 2.11.0-0+deb8u1.

For the testing distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 2.11.0-1.
