It was discovered that there was a ‘roster push attack’ in mcabber, a console-based Jabber (XMPP) client. This is identical to CVE-2015-8688

for gajim.

For Debian 8 ‘Jessie’, this problem has been fixed in version 0.10.2-1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your mcabber packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
