Descriptions

A certain hashing algorithm in Telepathy Gabble 0.16.x before 0.16.5 and 0.17.x before 0.17.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) via a crafted message.

Un algoritmo de hash concreto en Telepathy Gabble 0.16.x anterior a la versión 0.16.5 y 0.17.x anterior a 0.17.3 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (dereferencia a puntero nulo y caída) a través de un mensaje manipulado.

Maksim Otstavnov discovered that telepathy-gabble incorrectly handled TLS when connecting to legacy jabber servers. If a remote attacker were able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be exploited to view sensitive information. It was discovered that telepathy-gabble incorrectly handled certain messages. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause applications using telepathy-gabble to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 12.10.
