Description David Walser 2013-06-04 20:44:05 CEST
Debian has issued an advisory on June 3:
http://www.debian.org/security/2013/dsa-2702

This is fixed upstream in 0.17.4 and 0.16.6:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/telepathy/2013-May/006450.html
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/telepathy/2013-May/006449.html

Updated packages uploaded for Mageia 2, Mageia 3, and Cauldron.

I don't know if you'll be able to find any "legacy Jabber" servers to test this against.  They were pretty easy to set up yourself (I used to run one), but we haven't had that software packaged since Mandrake years ago (and probably Mandriva as well).

Advisory:
========================

Updated telepathy-gabble package fixes security vulnerability:

Maksim Otstavnov discovered that the Wocky submodule used by telepathy-gabble
does not respect the tls-required flag on legacy Jabber servers. A network
intermediary could use this vulnerability to bypass TLS verification and
perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
