intrigeri discovered a format string error in pidgin-otr, an Off-the-Record
Messaging plugin for Pidgin.
This could be exploited by a remote attacker to cause arbitrary code to
be executed on the userβs machine.
The problem is only in pidgin-otr. Other applications which use libotr are
not affected.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.2.0-5+squeeze1.
For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.2.1-1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.2.1-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your pidgin-otr packages.
