Four vulnerabilities in Pidgin
Summary: Cisco Talos's VRT discovered and reported four CVE vulnerabilities in Pidgin, and the Pidgin team has released Pidgin 2.10.8 to address them. The VRT's TRUFFLE rules protected Sourcefire customers against these vulnerabilities from October 1st 2013 until the patches were ready, and the rules are now being released publicly alongside the fix.
What's compelling: The rules shielded Sourcefire customers for roughly a month before any public patch existed, a window in which anyone outside that customer base had no signature-based warning that these flaws were known and being worked.
