#11110: Pidgin appears to leak DNS for Jabber accounts
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
Reporter: ioerror | Owner: deryni
Type: defect | Status: closed
Milestone: 2.6.6 | Component: XMPP
Version: 2.6.4 | Resolution: fixed
Keywords: jabber security privacy |
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
Comment(by kjo):
There is still a DNS leak with XMPP accounts in the following case:
* setup an XMPP account whith a SOCKS5 local proxy as described above
* disconnect from the network, e.g. by unpligging ethernet cable
* reconnect e.g. by replugging ethernet cable
Pidgin then automagically reconnects to the accounts, but leaks these
requests:
{{{
IP localhost.58656 > nameserver.domain: 21791+ TXT?
_xmppconnect.domain.tld. (53)
IP localhost.50104 > nameserver.domain: 21791+ TXT?
_xmppconnect.domain.tld. (53)
}}}
