Description Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2020-08-27 01:05:21 UTC 
Description:
"GNOME Geary before 3.36.3 mishandles pinned TLS certificate verification for IMAP and SMTP services using invalid TLS certificates (e.g., self-signed certificates) when the client system is not configured to use a system-provided PKCS#11 store. This allows a meddler in the middle to present a different invalid certificate to intercept incoming and outgoing mail."

3.36.3.1, 3.37.91 just got released with the fix.
