A report on the vulnerability from Pidgin users states that the vulnerability has been fixed in Pidgin/libpurple 2.5.9, but the discoverers of vulnerability, CoreSecurity, states that the first non-vulnerable version is 2.6.0. The confusion is exacerbated by the fact that the developers yesterday released versions 2.5.9, 2.6.0 and 2.6.1 in quick succession. Users wishing to play it safe should simply install the latest version. The latest version for Windows remains, however, version 2.5.8. Other applications such as Adium are also affected by the vulnerability." }-The H Security (http://www.h-online.com/security/Critical-vulnerability-in-Pidgin-IM--/news/114036)
