Description
Security vulnerabilities has been identified and fixed in pidgin :
The OSCAR protocol plugin in libpurple in Pidgin before 2.6.3 and
Adium before 1.3.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (application crash) via crafted contact-list data for (1) ICQ
and possibly (2) AIM, as demonstrated by the SIM IM client
(CVE-2009-3615).
Directory traversal vulnerability in slp.c in the MSN protocol plugin
in libpurple in Pidgin 2.6.4 and Adium 1.3.8 allows remote attackers
to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in an
application/x-msnmsgrp2p MSN emoticon (aka custom smiley) request, a
related issue to CVE-2004-0122. NOTE: it could be argued that this is
resultant from a vulnerability in which an emoticon download request
is processed even without a preceding text/x-mms-emoticon message that
announced availability of the emoticon (CVE-2010-0013).
Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0
customers.
This update provides pidgin 2.6.5, which is not vulnerable to these
issues.
