Synopsis: Important: pidgin security update
Issue date: 2010-01-14
CVE Names: CVE-2010-0013
A directory traversal flaw was discovered in Pidgin's MSN protocol
implementation. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted
emoticon image download request that would cause Pidgin to disclose an
arbitrary file readable to the user running Pidgin. (CVE-2010-0013)
These packages upgrade Pidgin to version 2.6.5.
Pidgin must be restarted for this update to take effect.
