    Jose Antonio Calvo found a defect in routines handling XML parsing of
    incoming data. jabberd 1.x may crash upon reception of invalid data on
    any socket connection on which XML is parsed.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker may send a specific sequence of bytes to an open
    socket to crash the jabberd server, resulting in a Denial of Service.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>

    All jabberd users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge sync
    
    # emerge -pv "&gt;=net-im/jabberd-1.4.3-r4"
    # emerge "&gt;=net-im/jabberd-1.4.3-r4"</code>
