DISPUTED Memory leak in Pidgin 2.0.0, and possibly other versions,
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption)
via malformed XML documents. NOTE: this issue has been disputed by the
upstream vendor, who states: “I was never able to identify a scenario under
which a problem occurred and the original reporter wasn’t able to supply
any sort of reproduction details.”
