summary: XMPP doesn't verify 'from' on some iq replies
discoveredBy: Fabian Yamaguchi and Christian Wressnegger of the University of Goettingen
The XMPP protocol plugin failed to ensure that iq replies came from the person
they were sent to. A remote user could send a spoofed iq reply and attempt to
guess the iq id. This could allow an attacker to inject fake data or trigger a
null pointer dereference.
Keep track of the 'to' when sending an iq stanza and make sure replies for a
given stanza ID come from the same address it was sent to.
