Jabber Studio jabberd SASL Negotiation Remote DoS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 21120

Language:

Synopsis

The remote instant messaging server is affected by a denial of service issue.

Description

The remote host is running jabberd, an open source messaging system based on the Jabber protocol.

The version of jabberd installed on the remote host suffers a segfault when a client sends a SASL 'response' stanza before a SASL 'auth' stanza. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can leverage this flaw to crash the application's c2s component, thereby denying service to legitimate users.

Solution

Upgrade to jabberd 2s11 or later.
