Name: CVE-2014-0364 URL: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-0364 Assigned: 20131205 Reference: http://community.igniterealtime.org/blogs/ignite/2014/04/17/asmack-400-rc1-has-been-released Reference: CERT-VN:VU#489228 Reference: http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/489228

The ParseRoster component in the Ignite Realtime Smack XMPP API before 4.0.0-rc1 does not verify the from attribute of a roster-query IQ stanza, which allows remote attackers to spoof IQ responses via a crafted attribute.

It is not clear whether this flaw affects the version of smack in Fedora. Both of these look to be needed to complete the fix:
