Various remote triggerable crashes in pidgin have been fixed :
In some situations the MSN server sends text that isnโt UTF-8 encoded, and Pidgin fails to verify the textโs encoding. In some cases this can lead to a crash when attempting to display the text (). (CVE-2012-1178)
Incoming messages with certain characters or character encodings can cause clients to crash. (CVE-2012-1178 / CVE-2012-2318)
A series of specially crafted file transfer requests can cause clients to reference invalid memory. The user must have accepted one of the file transfer requests.
