Debian DLA-413-1 : gajim security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 88627

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Affected versions of gajim allow remote attackers to modify the roster and intercept messages via a crafted roster-push IQ stanza.

This has been fixed in squeeze-lts by version 0.13.4-3+squeeze4.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected gajim package.
