Description Andrej Nemec 2016-12-21 04:41:57 EST

A vulnerability in the Smack XMPP library was reported where the security of
the TLS connection is not always enforced. By stripping the "starttls"
feature from the server response with a man-in-the-middle tool, an attacker
can force the client to authenticate in clear text even if the
"SecurityMode.required" TLS setting has been set.
