NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream telegram-desktop package and not the telegram-desktop package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Telegram Desktop (aka tdesktop) 1.3.14, and Telegram 3.3.0.0 WP8.1 on Windows, leaks end-user public and private IP addresses during a call because of an unsafe default behavior in which P2P connections are accepted from clients outside of the My Contacts list.
