The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200409-31 (jabberd 1.x: Denial of Service vulnerability)
Jose Antonio Calvo found a defect in routines handling XML parsing of incoming data. jabberd 1.x may crash upon reception of invalid data on any socket connection on which XML is parsed.
Impact :
A remote attacker may send a specific sequence of bytes to an open socket to crash the jabberd server, resulting in a Denial of Service.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
