Publication date: 15 Sep 2020
Modification date: 15 Sep 2020
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases : 7
CVE: CVE-2020-15953

Description

LibEtPan through 1.9.4, as used in MailCore 2 through 0.6.3 and other
products, has a STARTTLS buffering issue that affects IMAP, SMTP, and POP3.
When a server sends a "begin TLS" response, the client reads additional data
(e.g., from a meddler-in-the-middle attacker) and evaluates it in a TLS
context, aka "response injection". (CVE-2020-15953).
