Description Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-12-26 13:21:51 UTC
It is suspected that this package is vulnerable to a security vulnerability via embedded dev-php/PHPMailer. As such we ask maintainers with packages suspected to be vulnerable to verify if the package is (or have been) affected. 

Please see the information contained in the tracker bug 603752.

Joomla upstream has already confirmed the problem and is preparing new releases.

The version in Gentoo repository (=www-apps/joomla-3.4.8) ships PHPMailer in v5.2.9, see https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/3.4.8/libraries/vendor/phpmailer/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php#L34.
