Debian DSA-5379-1 : dino-im - security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 173650

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5379 advisory.

Kim Alvefur discovered that insufficient message sender validation in dino-im, a modern XMPP/Jabber client, may result in manipulation of entries in the personal bookmark store without user interaction via a specially crafted message. Additionally an attacker can take advantage of this flaw to change how group chats are displayed or force a user to join or leave an attacker-selected groupchat. For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.0-3+deb11u1. We recommend that you upgrade your dino-im packages. For the detailed security status of dino-im please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/dino-im

Solution

Upgrade the dino-im packages.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in version 0.2.0-3+deb11u1.
