    Does the cisco vulnerability CVE-2020-3495 considered worthy of the newletter ? it makes a lot of noise.

  35. peetah

    What bugs me is the mix made between cisco product and Jabber: in the article I run through, they are often taken one for another, considering that the flaw is in Jabber (the protocol) and not the cisco client

  36. peetah

    here is what I think is the original publication from the company that discovered the different flaws: https://watchcom.no/nyheter/nyhetsarkiv/uncovers-cisco-jabber-vulnerabilities/

  37. peetah

    s/in the article/in the articles/

  38. Martin

    Jabber *is* Cisco. I really don't like that jabber is widely misused as synonym for xmpp as people start mixing it up with the Cisco product jabber which is based on xmpp.

  39. Martin

    https://blog.windfluechter.net/content/blog/2020/06/09/1758-jabber-vs-xmpp

  40. peetah

    Martin: enlighten me here please: years ago I first heard of Jabber as a protocol, then it became XMPP; do you mean that Jabber was first a cisco product then its protocol has been opened ?

  41. peetah

    oh thanks for the ink

    > sorry, I'll check the logs before posting from now on No problem, please keep up the good work!

  51. peetah

    I suggest that the next newsletter relay these two articles in the same news so that we talk about these vunerabilities and make a strong statement about the possible current confusion between Cisco Jabber and XMPP as described in the link Martin just posted

  52. emus

    > peetah: please keep collecting. I don't mind duplicates :) they'll resolve anyway when adding content to the newsletter draft yes

  53. peetah

    I don't remember having seen anything about limiting the newsletter to FOSS: is there something stated against proprietary softwares as I guess (without any real knowledge) Cisco Jabber is ?

  54. Martin

    XMPP can be used for closed source products as well (see games, grindr) so I don't see why we should not cover those in the newsletter as well.

  55. Licaon_Kter

    What, they aren't actively trying to hide its usage? :))

  56. peetah

    ok that's fine for me, it's just that I scarcely saw closed source softwares news in the newsletter

  57. emus

    I wonder if the licence should force at least naming that the technology is used 馃

  58. Martin

    What license?

  59. Martin

    If they don't use any OSS lib but implement it by looking at the specification they don't have to follow any license I guess.

    Martin: I meant, the xmpp protocol has a license or, like gpl?

  63. Martin

    Not that I'm aware of, but I'm neither a protocol expert nor a lawyer. 馃槂

  64. emus

    so its usable without any license?

  65. Licaon_Kter

    It's an open spec, there's no license or price. Afaik

  66. emus

    Okay, thanks

  67. emus

    Martin: Need to think about it 馃

  68. emus

    you github comment

  69. Martin

    Ok

  70. Martin

    Martin: reading the small introduction to the article might bring the reader to use an online translator rather than skip the article altogether because of a language issue

  74. emus

    I just dont like any [ --- ] things in the beginning of a sentence 馃槄 but maybe that is my personal problem

  75. Martin

    I think people willing to read an article in another language by using a translator won't be scared away by mentioning at the beginning that another language is used. 馃槂

  76. emus

    Yes, but I meant this about "reading flow" and convienece

  77. emus

    its like a visual interuption to me

    xmpp is not, and probably cannot be trademarked. This was one of the goals choosing the name when we standardized at ietf
