  <affected>
    <package name="net-im/gajim" auto="yes" arch="*">
      <unaffected range="ge">0.15.3-r1</unaffected>

  <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 "&gt;=net-im/gajim-0.15.3-r1"
    </code>
