MGASA-2012-0140
Date: 	July 9th, 2012
Affected releases: 	1, 2


Description:
Updated pidgin-otr package fixes security vulnerability:

Format string vulnerability in the log_message_cb function in
otr-plugin.c in the Off-the-Record Messaging (OTR) pidgin-otr plugin
before 3.2.1 for Pidgin might allow remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code via format string specifiers in data that generates
a log message (CVE-2012-2369).

libotr has also been updated to remove the .la file from the -devel
package, so that pidgin-otr will build correctly.
