The remote host is running a version of Openfire prior to 3.9.2. It is, therefore, affected by an XMPP-layer denial of service vulnerability.
The vulnerability exists in ‘nio/XMLLightweightParser.java’ which fails to properly restrict the processing of compressed XML elements, which allows remote attackers to consume resources via a crafted XMPP stream, known as an ‘xmppbomb’ attack.
