were tricked into sending a file, a remote attacker could send a specially
crafted response and cause Pidgin to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary
code with user privileges. (CVE-2009-1373)
It was discovered that Pidgin did not properly handle certain malformed
messages in the QQ protocol handler. A remote attacker could send a
