Mageia 8: 2022-0214 Critical: Trojita Email Leak Attack

mageia
Calendar Grey June 3, 2022
Dist Mageia Esm H88
New versions of Trojita have been released in Mageia addressing significant vulnerabilities in email encryption protocols. For further information, see below.
An attacker in possession of S/MIME or PGP encrypted emails can wrap them as sub-parts within a crafted multipart email

Summary

An attacker in possession of S/MIME or PGP encrypted emails can wrap them as sub-parts within a crafted multipart email. The encrypted part(s) can further be hidden using HTML/CSS or ASCII newline characters. This modified multipart email can be re-sent by the attacker to the intended receiver. If the receiver replies to this (benign looking) email, they unknowingly leak the plaintext of the encrypted message part(s) back to the attacker. (CVE-2019-10734)
