Download Pidgin (GAIM) 2.13.0 for Mac OS. Pidgin is a downloadable open-sourced instant messaging (IM) application designed to function for the Windows, Linux and other UNIX operating systems. Experience has shown that it is difficult to get all prerequisites correctly in place, especially for new Linux users. Instead you should use the ready-to-use installation packages which most OS distributions offer under the name pidgin-sipe. See also the links at the bottom of this page. The Pidgin project does not support third. Mac OS X; Source; Windows. This version of Pidgin downloads an appropriate version of GTK+. GTK+ is now installed locally for Pidgin, and not system-wide, thus Pidgin will not interfere with other GTK+ apps on your system. If you would like to have GTK+ included in the installer. Download Pidgin for Mac - Versatile instant messaging desktop client that allows you to connect to accounts from various networks, such as AIM, ICQ, MSN, IRC, Yahoo, Jabber, and more.

Versions 4.1.0 and earlier of libotr in 64-bit builds contain an integer overflow security flaw. This flaw could potentially be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a heap buffer overflow and subsequently for arbitrary code to be executed on the user's machine.
CVE-2016-2851 has been assigned to this issue.
Please upgrade to libotr version 4.1.1 immediately.
Users of libotr packages in Linux and *BSD distributions should see updated packages shortly.
This security release includes the following updates:
- Fix an integer overflow bug that can cause a heap buffer overflow (and from there remote code execution) on 64-bit platforms
- Fix possible free() of an uninitialized pointer
- Be stricter about parsing v3 fragments
- Add a testsuite ('make check' to run it), but only on Linux for now, since it uses Linux-specific features such as epoll
- Fix a memory leak when reading a malformed instance tag file
- Protocol documentation clarifications
This point release includes the following updates:
- Fix use-after-free issue during SMP
- Updated Spanish, German, Norwegian Bokmål translations
- New Danish translation
- The Windows binary has been linked with updated versions of libotr, libgcrypt, libgpg-error, and other supporting libraries
