Security update: pidgin-otr version 3.2.1

Versions 3.2.0 and earlier of the pidgin-otr plugin contain a format string security flaw. This flaw could potentially be exploited by a remote attacker to cause arbitrary code to be executed on the user's machine.

The flaw is in pidgin-otr, not in libotr. Other applications that use libotr are not affected.

CVE-2012-2369 has been assigned to this issue.

Please upgrade to pidgin-otr version 3.2.1 immediately.

Users of pidgin-otr packages in Linux and *BSD distributions should see updated packages shortly.

The plugin has been updated. I posted a story to the homepage, RSS feed and Twitter just to be sure as I know a portion of our userbase likes to make use of encryption.

Thanks for the heads-up on the update.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Yay
