Dino before 2019-09-10 does not properly check the source of a carbons message in module/xep/0280_message_carbons.vala.

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4306-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Dino incorrectly validated inputs. An attacker could use this issue to possibly     obtain, inject or remove sensitive information.

    This update also includes a fix to the encryption implementation in Dino to support 12 byte IVs, in     addition to 16 byte IVs.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Update dino to [a96c8014](https://github.com/dino/dino/compare/016ab2c1...a96c8014), which addresses three CVEs.
