Updated messagelib packages fix security vulnerability

Publication date: 03 Dec 2018
Modification date: 03 Dec 2018
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases : 6
CVE: CVE-2018-19516

Description

Some HTML emails can trick messagelib into opening a new browser window
when displaying said email as HTML. This happens even if the option to
allow the HTML emails to access remote servers is disabled in KMail
settings. This means that the owners of the servers referred in the
email can see in their access logs your IP address (CVE-2018-19516).
