Upstream has released 0.16.5 and 0.17.3 to fix a remotely triggerable crash (denial of service) issue in telepathy-gabble. Freeze push requested for 0.17.3 in Cauldron. Updated package uploaded for Mageia 2. Note to QA: You can test telepathy-gabble with a Jabber account in empathy. Advisory: ======================== Updated telepathy-gabble packages fix security vulnerability: NULL pointer dereference in telepathy-gabble before 0.16.5 which causes a crash when processing weirdly-shaped data forms in caps query replies. This bug can be triggered by any XMPP user who knows the bare JID of a user of a vulnerable client, without needing to be authorized to see that user's presence (CVE-2013-1769). The telepathy-gabble package has been updated to version to 0.16.5 to fix this issue as well as several other bugs.
