Log:
  Remove the improperly formatted libotr entry. Someone with more knowledge
  and experience needs to take care of this, I'm clearly not competent.

-	  <p>The otrl_base64_otr_decode() function and similar functions within OTR
-	  suffer from buffer overflows in the case of malformed input;
-	  specifically if a message of the format of "?OTR:===." is received
-	  then a zero-byte allocation is performed without a similar correlation
-	  between the subsequent base64 decoding write, as such it becomes
-	  possible to write between zero and three bytes incorrectly to the
-	  heap, albeit only with a value of '='.</p>
-	  <p>Because this code path is highly utilized, specifically in the
-	  reception of instant messages over pidgin or similar, this
-	  vulnerability is considered severe even though in many platforms and
-	  circumstances the bug would yield an unexploitable state and result
-	  simply in denial of service.</p>
-	  <p>The developers of OTR promptly fixed the errors and users of OTR are
-	  advised to upgrade the software at the next release cycle.</p>
