| <affected> |
| <package name="net-im/gajim" auto="yes" arch="*"> |

| <background> |
| <p>Gajim is a Jabber/XMPP client which uses GTK+.</p> |
| </background> |
| <description> |
| <p>The _ssl_verify_callback() function in tls_nb.py does not properly |
| validate SSL certificates, causing any certificate to be accepted as |
| valid as long as the root CA is valid. |
| </p> |
| </description> |
| <impact type="low"> |
| <p>A remote attacker might employ a specially crafted certificate to |
| conduct man-in-the-middle attacks on SSL connections and potentially |
| disclose sensitive information. |
| </p> |
| </impact> |
| <workaround> |
| <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p> |
| </workaround> |
| <resolution> |
| <p>All Gajim users should upgrade to the latest version:</p> |
| |
| <code> |
| # emerge --sync |
| # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-im/gajim-0.15.3-r1" |
| </code> |
