Summary
CVE-2019-16056
The email module wrongly parses email addresses that contain
multiple @ characters. An application that uses the email module and
implements some kind of checks on the From/To headers of a message
could be tricked into accepting an email address that should be
denied.
For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
2.7.9-2+deb8u5.
We recommend that you upgrade your python2.7 packages.
