Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

In DLA 1007-1 Thunderbird was upgraded to the latest ESR series. This update upgrades Enigmail, the OpenPGP extention for Thunderbird, to version 1.9.8.1 to restore full compatibility.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2:1.9.8.1-1~deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your enigmail packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected enigmail package.
