Xenial 16.04.3 LTS ships with jabberd2 version 2.3.4-1ubuntu2 (as of this report). This version is vulnerable to CVE-2017-10807, namely it allows "anonymous" SASL authentication even when that option is switched off in the configuration:

```

```

There is Debian bug #867032 for this vulnerability.

Current upstream versions of jabberd2 are not vulnerable; in particular version 2.6.1-1 that ships with artful is _probably_ not vulnerable, so this report only applies to the LTS release.
