Description Vincent Danen 2013-05-30 21:21:37 UTC
It was reported [1],[2] that a vulnerability exists in the Wocky submodule used by telepathy-gabble versions 0.9.x through to 0.16.5.  A malicious remote user could use this vulnerability to bypass TLS verification and perform a man-in-the-middle attack on a user using telepathy-gabble.  This flaw is fixed in the 0.16.6 release (and 0.17.4 development release) and the patch [3] is available for earlier versions.
