Bug Description
Binary package hint: pidgin
Pidgin can be remotely crashed via video-call request from Google Talk; it crashes also when user initiates the video call.
I expected: video call or a warning saying that it is not possible.
What happened: pidgin crashed
Temporary solution: don't use Pidgin as any attacker (who doesn't have to be in your contact list) can crash it.

Happening here, too. This is a pretty terrible bug.
