Hi,
the following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was
published for pidgin.


CVE-2009-2694[0]:
| A remote arbitrary-code-execution vulnerability has been found in
| Libpurple (used by Pidgin and Adium instant messaging clients, among
| others), which can be triggered by a remote attacker by sending a
| specially crafted MSNSLP packet  [4] with invalid data to the client
| through the MSN server. No victim interaction is required, and the
| attacker is not required to be in the victim's buddy list (under
| default configuration).

This bug is fixed in pidgin 2.5.9 [1]


Thanks for your work.
