Affected packages
=================
——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-
1 net-im/pidgin < 2.10.9 >= 2.10.9

X86 should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge –sync
# emerge –ask –oneshot –verbose “>=net-im/pidgin-2.10.9-r1”
All Pidgin users on ALPHA, PPC, PPC64, SPARC, and users of GNOME before
3.8 on AMD64 and X86 should upgrade to the latest version:
