Description Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2020-06-14 22:58:30 UTC
1) A possible IMAP man-in-the-middle attack.  No credentials 
are exposed, but could result in unintended emails being "saved" to an 
attacker's server.  The $ssl_starttls quadoption is now used to check 
for an unencrypted PREAUTH response from the server.


2) A problem with GnuTLS certificate prompting. "Rejecting" an expired intermediate cert did not terminate the 
connection.
