CVE-2016-2365 Pidgin vulnerabilities
Title: Pidgin vulnerabilities
Summary: Pidgin could be made to crash or run programs if it received
specially crafted network traffic.
Yves Younan discovered that Pidgin contained multiple issues in the MXit
protocol support. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause Pidgin to
crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary
code.
Instructions: After a standard system update you need to restart Pidgin to make all the
necessary changes.
