Test ID: | 1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.55715 |
Category: | Ubuntu Local Security Checks |
Title: | Ubuntu USN-211-1 (enigmail) |
Summary: | NOSUMMARY |
Description: | Description: The remote host is missing an update to enigmail announced via advisory USN-211-1. A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) The following packages are affected: mozilla-enigmail mozilla-thunderbird-enigmail Hadmut Danish discovered an information disclosure vulnerability in the key selection dialog of the Mozilla/Thunderbird enigmail plugin. If a user's keyring contained a key with an empty user id (i. e. a key without a name and email address), this key was selected by default when the user attempted to send an encrypted email. Unless this empty key was manually deselected, the message got encrypted for that empty key, whose owner could then decrypt it. Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 2:0.92.1-0ubuntu04.10 (for Ubuntu 4.10), 2:0.92.1-0ubuntu05.04 (for Ubuntu 5.04), or 2:0.92.1-0ubuntu05.10 (for Ubuntu 5.10). You need to restart Thunderbird and Mozilla Mail after a standard system upgrade to effect the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-211-1 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 5.0 |
