This patch resolves a pair of security flaws in Enigmail for openSUSE. Ensure your system is protected against these issues.
An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available.

Description

This update for enigmail fixes vulnerabilities that allowed spoofing of

e-mail signatures:

- CVE-2018-12019: signature spoofing via specially crafted OpenPGP user

IDs (boo#1097525)

- CVE-2018-12020: signature spoofing via diagnostic output of the original

file name in GnuPG verbose mode (boo#1096745) This mitigation prevents
