Version     : 0.14.4
Release     : 4.el6
URL         : http://gajim.org/
Summary     : Jabber client written in PyGTK
Description :
Gajim is a Jabber client written in PyGTK. The goal of Gajim's developers is
to provide a full featured and easy to use xmpp client for the GTK+ users.
Gajim does not require GNOME to run, even though it exists with it nicely.

Update Information:

patch for CVE-2012-5524

Gajim performed verification of invalid (broken / expired) x.509v3 SSL certificates (True as return value was returned always regardless if error during certificate validation occurred or not). A rogue XMPP server could use this flaw to conduct man-in-the-middle attack (MiTM) and trick Gajim client to accept the certificate even when it was invalid / should not be accepted.

This release fixes this issue.
