Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-853-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'pidgin' package(s) announced via the DLA-853-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'pidgin' package(s) announced via the DLA-853-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that an invalid XML file can trigger an out-of-bound memory access in Pidgin, a multi-protocol instant messaging client, when it is sent by a malicious server. This might lead to a crash or, in some extreme cases, to remote code execution in the client-side. For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 2.10.10-1~ deb7u3. We recommend that you upgrade your pidgin packages.
