CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2010:0044

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.
