CVE-2010-0013 is a directory traversal vulnerability in slp.c in the MSN protocol plugin used by libpurple, affecting Pidgin 2.6.4 and Adium 1.3.8. The flaw is triggered when the application processes an application/x-msnmsgrp2p MSN emoticon, also described as a custom smiley, request containing dot-dot path traversal sequences. Because the request path is not properly constrained to the intended directory, a remote attacker can cause the client to access files outside the expected location. The issue is associated with handling of custom smiley retrieval requests and is related to earlier path traversal issues in similar functionality.
