Thanks David!

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

Updated jitsi package fixes security vulnerability:

An incorrect implementation of XEP-0280: Message Carbons in Jitsi and other
XMPP clients allows a remote attacker to impersonate any user, including
contacts, in the vulnerable application's display. This allows for
various kinds of social engineering attacks (CVE-2017-5603).

Just testing that the package is functional, as I'm not clear on exactly how
to use the info provided to recreate the problem.

Tested on both i586 and x86_64.

David Geiger,
Just a heads up that it appears that kopete needs a patch to fix this in Cauldron also, according to Arch:
