Package : telepathy-gabble
Vulnerability : TLS verification bypass

Maksim Otstavnov discovered that the Wocky submodule used by
telepathy-gabble, the Jabber/XMPP connection manager for the Telepathy

servers. A network intermediary could use this vulnerability to bypass
TLS verification and perform a man-in-the-middle attack.

version 0.9.15-1+squeeze2.
For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.16.5-1+deb7u1.
