Debian DSA-2416-1 : notmuch - information disclosure

high Nessus Plugin ID 58110

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

It was discovered that Notmuch, an email indexer, did not sufficiently escape Emacs MML tags. When using the Emacs interface, a user could be tricked into replying to a maliciously formatted message which could lead to files from the local machine being attached to the outgoing message.

Solution

Upgrade the notmuch packages.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 0.3.1+squeeze1.
