Comment 4 David Walser 2020-08-09 22:18:39 CEST

Advisory:
========================

Updated claws-mail packages fix security vulnerability:

common/session.c in Claws Mail before 3.17.6 has a protocol violation because
suffix data after STARTTLS is mishandled (CVE-2020-15917).

MGA7-64 Plasma on Lenovo B50
No installation issues.
Tested by configuring claws-mail to use my hotmail account and sending and receiving mails without and with attachment to and from my gmail account on my desktop PC.
All OK.
