Summary
=======
A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in Cisco Unified
Presence and Jabber Extensible Communications Platform (Jabber XCP).
An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability
by sending a specially crafted Extensible Messaging and Presence
Protocol (XMPP) stream header to an affected server. Successful
exploitation of this vulnerability could cause the Connection Manager
process to crash. Repeated exploitation could result in a sustained
DoS condition.
There are no workarounds available to mitigate exploitation of this
vulnerability.

vulnerability.
