After consulting with one of upstream developers, it became clear this
bug cannot be exploited from the outside and so it's not really that
serious as it might sound because it does not introduce a
vulnerability. To exploit this bug, a hostile party should convince the
server administrator to misconfigure one or more of their xmpp
components; clearly, such an attacker could as well convince her to run
`rm -rf /` as root.
