DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Cisco Unified Presence and Cisco
Jabber XCP, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS
(Denial of Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the Extensible
Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) server when handling incoming
stream headers. This can be exploited to cause the Connection Manager
process to terminate via a specially crafted header.

The vulnerability is reported in the following products:
* Cisco Unified Presence versions prior to 8.6(3).
* Jabber XCP versions prior to 5.3.

SOLUTION:
Update to a fixed version.
