    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted link
      using Gajim, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the
      privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition. Furthermore,
      a remote attacker could use a specially crafted Jabber ID, possibly
      resulting in execution of arbitrary SQL statements.
    </p>
    
    <p>A local attacker could perform symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary
      files with the privileges of the user running the application.
    </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-r1"
    </code>
