CVE-2013-1431 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Debian security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Debian:11.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream telepathy-gabble package and not the telepathy-gabble package as distributed by Debian.
The Wocky module in Telepathy Gabble before 0.16.6 and 0.17.x before 0.17.4, when connecting to a "legacy Jabber server," does not properly enforce the WockyConnector:tls-required flag, which allows remote attackers to bypass TLS verification and perform a man-in-the-middle attacks.
