Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Dawid Golunski from LegalHackers discovered that PHP Swift Mailer, a mailing solution for PHP, did not correctly validate user input. This allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code by passing specially formatted email addresses in specific email headers.

Solution

Upgrade the libphp-swiftmailer packages.
