Glad to hear that. This also leaves me less confused, since you are attributed 
as one of the issue’s discoverers as well.

Of to other security issues fixed in Pidgin 2.10.10, one other looks specific 
to Pidgin too (CVE-2014-3694), one only affects Windows (CVE-2014-3697) and one 
concerns the MXit protocol, which currently doesn’t seem to be supported by 
Adium (CVE-2014-3695).
Which leaves CVE-2014-3696 – can you tell anything about that in regard to 
Adium? Although GroupWise is presumably used much less than XMPP and it looks 
like „just“ a DoS without an option to anything more, it would still be an 
outstanding security issue.

Regards,
Felix
