This allows an attacker to perform denial of service attacks against the service by sending specially crafted XML data to it.

The oldstable distribution (lenny), does not contain jabberd14.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1.6.1.1-5+squeeze1.

For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem will be fixed soon.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.6.1.1-5.1

We recommend that you upgrade your jabberd14 packages.");
