cipher.c in the Cipher API in libpurple in Pidgin before 2.7.10 retains
encryption-key data in process memory, which might allow local users to
obtain sensitive information by reading a core file or other representation
of memory contents.
It was discovered that libpurple versions prior to 2.7.10 do not properly
clear certain data structures used in libpurple/cipher.c prior to freeing. An
attacker could potentially extract partial information from memory regions
freed by libpurple.
