kf5-messagelib vulnerabilities

Damian Poddebniak, Christian Dresen, Jens Müller, Fabian Ising,

Sebastian Schinzel, Simon Friedberger, Juraj Somorovsky, and Jörg

Schwenk discovered that PIM Messagelib could be made to leak the plaintext

of S/MIME encrypted emails when retrieving external content in emails.

Under certain configurations, if a user were tricked into opening a

specially crafted email using an application linked against PIM Messagelib,

an attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain the plaintext of an

encrypted email. This update mitigates the issue by preventing automatic

loading of external content. (CVE-2017-17689)
