2.6.4 does not have the fix, there is no new release yet.
Patch in $URL, please provide a patched ebuild.
Comment 2 Mr. B 2010-01-09 13:24:48 UTC
2.6.5 was released yesterday with a fix - might be an idea to bump pronto.

BTW, note that 2.6.5 seems to have regression:

Well, actually this was not regression and this had something to do with changes on ICQ servers. Currently it looks like changes were reverted and everything should just work.

CVE-2010-0013 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2010-0013):
  Directory traversal vulnerability in slp.c in the MSN protocol plugin
  in libpurple in Pidgin 2.6.4 and Adium 1.3.8 allows remote attackers
  to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in an
  application/x-msnmsgrp2p MSN emoticon (aka custom smiley) request, a
  related issue to CVE-2004-0122.  NOTE: it could be argued that this
  is resultant from a vulnerability in which an emoticon download
  request is processed even without a preceding text/x-mms-emoticon
  message that announced availability of the emoticon.
