KDE kmail before 5.5.2 and messagelib before 5.5.2, as distributed in KDE Applications before 17.04.2, do not ensure that a plugin's sign/encrypt action occurs during use of the Send Later feature, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing the network.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - kmail: Send Later with Delay bypasses OpenPGP (CVE-2017-9604)

  - KDE KMail does not encrypt attachments in emails when automatic encryption is enabled, which allows     remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing the network. (CVE-2014-8878)

  - The S/MIME specification allows a Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) malleability-gadget attack that can     indirectly lead to plaintext exfiltration, aka EFAIL. (CVE-2017-17689)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.
