DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Telepathy Gabble, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct hijacking attacks.

The vulnerability is caused due to a validation error in the
Jabber/XMMP connection manager when processing "google:jingleinfo"
updates. This can be exploited to intercept audio and video calls by
relaying streamed media through an attacker's server.

Successful exploitation requires an attacker to be a target's
contact.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 0.11.7.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 0.11.7.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.
