Debian DLA-2300-1 : kdepim-runtime security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 139208

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was an issue where kdepim-runtime would default to using unencrypted POP3 communication despite the UI indicating that encryption was in use.

For Debian 9 'Stretch', this issue has been fixed in kdepim-runtime version 4:16.04.2-2+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your kdepim-runtime 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 kdepim-runtime package.
