Background ========= Jabber is a set of streaming XML protocols enabling message, presence, and other structured information exchange between two hosts. jabberd is the original implementation of the Jabber protocol server. Affected packages ================ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-im/jabberd = 1.4.3-r4 Description ========== Jose Antonio Calvo found a defect in routines handling XML parsing of incoming data. jabberd 1.x may crash upon reception of invalid data on any socket connection on which XML is parsed. Impact ===== A remote attacker may send a specific sequence of bytes to an open socket to crash the jabberd server, resulting in a Denial of Service. Workaround ========= There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========= All jabberd users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge sync # emerge -pv "> =net-im/jabberd-1.4.3-r4" # emerge "> =net-im/jabberd-1.4.3-r4" References ========= [ 1 ] Vulnerability disclosure [ 2 ] Jabber announcement Availability =========== This GLSA and any updatesto it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200409-31 Concerns? ======== Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
