Fedora 31: FEDORA-2020-95f2c5cc25 Critical: Geary TLS Certificate Handling

fedora
Calendar Grey September 8, 2020
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The latest Geary release for Fedora 31 enhances the management of invalid TLS certificates, boosting security for its users.
Add patch for CVE-2020-24661: Handling of pinned, invalid TLS certificates.

Summary

Geary is a new email reader for GNOME designed to let you read your

email quickly and effortlessly. Its interface is based on

conversations, so you can easily read an entire discussion without

having to click from message to message. Geary is still in early

development and has limited features today, but we're planning to add

drag-and-drop attachments, lightning-fast searching, multiple account

support and much more. Eventually we'd like Geary to have an

extensible plugin architecture so that developers will be able to add

all kinds of nifty features in a modular way.

Add patch for CVE-2020-24661: Handling of pinned, invalid TLS certificates.
