Updated pidgin packages that fix a security issue are now available for Red

Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.

 

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red

Hat Security Response Team.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

RHEL Optional Productivity Applications (v. 5 server) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

3. Description:

 

Pidgin is an instant messaging program which can log in to multiple

accounts on multiple instant messaging networks simultaneously.

 

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. Refer to the Pidgin release

notes for a full list of changes: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/ChangeLog

 

All Pidgin users should upgrade to these updated packages, which correct

this issue. Pidgin must be restarted for this update to take effect.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released

errata relevant to your system have been applied.

 

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use

the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at

http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259

 

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

 

552483 - CVE-2010-0013 pidgin/libpurple: MSN custom smiley request directory traversal file disclosure
