An update that solves two vulnerabilities and has one
errata is now available.
Description:
This update for enigmail to 2.0.7 fixes the following issues:
These security issues were fixed:
- CVE-2018-12020: Mitigation against GnuPG signature spoofing: Email
signatures could be spoofed via an embedded "--filename" parameter in
OpenPGP literal data packets. This update prevents this issue from being
exploited if GnuPG was not updated (boo#1096745)
- CVE-2018-12019: The signature verification routine interpreted User IDs
as status/control messages and did not correctly keep track of the
status of multiple signatures. This allowed remote attackers to spoof
arbitrary email signatures via public keys containing crafted primary
user ids (boo#1097525)
- Disallow plaintext (literal packets) outside of encrpyted packets
- Replies to a partially encrypted message may have revealed protected
information - no longer display PGP/MIME message part followed by
unencrypted data (bsc#1094781)
- Fix signature Spoofing via Inline-PGP in HTML Mails
These non-security issues were fixed:
- Fix filter actions forgetting selected mail folder names
- Fix compatibility issue with Thunderbird 60b7
