Synopsis
The remote Debian host is missing a security update.
Description
A possible regression was found in the recent security update for libphp-phpmailer, announced as DLA 1591-1. During backporting a new variable have accidentally introduced to a conditional statement from a much later version. Thanks to Salvatore Bonaccorso (carnil) for reporting this.

We recommend that you upgrade your libphp-phpmailer packages.

Upgrade the affected libphp-phpmailer package.
