From the full disclosure mailing list at $URL: "Gajim does not seem to properly handle invalid/broken/expired certificates. The _ssl_verify_callback function in tls_nb.py is called by OpenSSL for every certificate in the certificate chain (CA first, server certificate last) but always return True whether an error was encountered or not. This forces OpenSSL to verify each certificate until none is left, at which points it will call _ssl_verify_callback one last time with an error number of 0. (This behavior is documented here: man 3 SSL_CTX_set_verify "If verify_callback returns 1, the verification process is continued. If verify_callback always returns 1, the TLS/SSL handshake will not be terminated with respect to verification failures and the connection will be established." And can be observed in function crypto/x509/x509_vfy.c:internal_verify() in OpenSSL source code.) _ssh_verify_callback only stores the last error code, which always is 0 unless an error was encountered in the deepest level of the chain (the CA), so gajim will not warn as long as the CA is recognized. (...) This problem goes beyond expired certificates. It is also possible to edit any existing and valid server certificate by changing the CN manually. The certificate's signature will be become invalid and OpenSSL will detect it and return errnum 7 ("Certificate signature failure") but gajim will not warn and will proceed with the connection anyway..."

After updating to gajim-0.15.2-r1 I can't connect to jabber.ru. I find out what problem in connection.py module. Check my patch.
I also can't connect to any server using 0.15.2-r1

With gajim-0.15.2-CVE-2012-5524 patch applied, Gajim saves only the last character of the SHA-1 fingerprint to the config file. Thus, when connecting to the server Gajim compares ONLY THE LAST CHARACTER of the server SHA-1 fingerprint and saved SHA-1 fingerprint (which is already one character) — MITM is possible. I think this happens because type(con.Connection.ssl_fingerprint_sha1) is 'str', thus fingerprint will contain the last character of the con.Connection.ssl_fingerprint_sha1 string.

(In reply to comment #17) See bug 458572
With Version 0.15.3 the official patch landed in the tree.
Justin, do you plan to stabilize 0.15.3? The main problem I see is that it needs some dependencies to be stabilized first.
(In reply to comment #19) > With Version 0.15.3 the official patch landed in the tree. I guess that version can go stable then?
