Maintainer(s), please cleanup. Security, please vote. GLSA vote: no. CVE-2014-5444 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-5444): Geary before 0.6.3 does not present the user with a warning when a TLS certificate error is detected, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks via a crafted certificate. GLSA Vote: No Maintainer(s), please drop the vulnerable version(s). Maintainer(s), Thank you for you for cleanup. |
From ${URL} : It was reported that when Geary, an email client, received a certificate error, it continued connecting without warning the user. This could lead to man-in-the-middle attacks. This has been fixed in upstream version 0.6.3 (this version is in Fedora 20 testing).
