Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - A vulnerability was identified in the email parsing library due to improper handling of specially
 formatted recipient email addresses. An attacker can exploit this flaw by crafting a recipient address

 attacker's external address instead of the intended internal recipient. This could lead to a significant
 data leak of sensitive information and allow an attacker to bypass security filters and access controls.
