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.
