Debian DLA-1825-1 : kdepim security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 126010

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

A reply-based decryption oracle was found in kdepim, which provides the KMail e-mail client.

An attacker in possession of S/MIME or PGP encrypted emails can wrap them as sub-parts within a crafted multipart email. The encrypted part(s) can further be hidden using HTML/CSS or ASCII newline characters. This modified multipart email can be re-sent by the attacker to the intended receiver. If the receiver replies to this (benign looking) email, they unknowingly leak the plaintext of the encrypted message part(s) back to the attacker.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 4:4.14.1-1+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your kdepim packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
