Reference: CONFIRM:http://developer.pidgin.im/viewmtn/revision/diff/312e056d702d29379ea61aea9d27765f127bc888/with/55897c4ce0787edc1e7721b7f4a9b5cbc8357279

protocols/jabber/auth.c in libpurple in Pidgin 2.6.0, and possibly
other versions, does not follow the "require TLS/SSL" preference when
connecting to older Jabber servers that do not follow the XMPP
specification, which causes libpurple to connect to the server without
the expected encryption and allows remote attackers to sniff sessions.
