Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2021-05-14 14:01:28 UTC
CVE-2020-36326 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2020-36326):
  PHPMailer 6.1.8 through 6.4.0 allows object injection through Phar
  Deserialization via addAttachment with a UNC pathname. NOTE: this is similar
  to CVE-2018-19296, but arose because 6.1.8 fixed a functionality problem in
  which UNC pathnames were always considered unreadable by PHPMailer, even in
  safe contexts. As an unintended side effect, this fix eliminated the code
  that blocked addAttachment exploitation.

All done (https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=516dae1a577f330b2aac5245cbbf41bd3a18ce15), repository is clean.
