  Just Ferguson discovered that libotr, an off-the-record (OTR) messaging

  exploit this flaw by sending crafted messages to an application that
  is using libotr to perform denial of service attacks or potentially
  execute arbitrary code (CVE-2012-3461).

  The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.");
