Summary
Daniel Gultsch discovered a vulnerability in Gajim, an XMPP/jabber
client. Gajim didn't verify the origin of roster update, allowing an
attacker to spoof them and potentially allowing her to intercept
messages.
For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed
in version 0.15.1-4.1+deb7u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your gajim packages.
