Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'gajim' package(s) announced via the DSA-3943-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Gajim, a GTK+-based XMPP/Jabber client, unconditionally implements the 'XEP-0146: Remote Controlling Clients' extension, allowing a malicious XMPP server to trigger commands to leak private conversations from encrypted sessions. With this update XEP-0146 support has been disabled by default and made opt-in via the remote_commands option.

For the oldstable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 0.16-1+deb8u2.

For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed prior to the initial release.

We recommend that you upgrade your gajim packages.

Affected Software/OS:

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
