NASL family Solaris Local Security Checks NASL id SOLARIS11_EJABBERD_20140731.NASL description The remote Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address security updates : - The mod_pubsub module (mod_pubsub.erl) in ejabberd 2.1.8 and 3.0.0-alpha-3 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a stanza with a publish tag that lacks a node attribute.
