Description

This update for prosody to version 0.10.2 fixes the following issues:

This security issue was fixed:

- CVE-2018-10847: Prevent insufficient validation of client-provided

parameters during XMPP stream restarts. Authenticated users may have

overriden the realm associated with their session, potentially bypassing

security policies and allowing impersonation (bsc#1094890).

These non-security issues were fixed:

- mod_websocket: Store the request object on the session for use by other

modules

- mod_c2s: Avoid concatenating potential nil value

- core.certmanager: Allow all non-whitespace in service name
