NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream enigmail package and not the enigmail package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

Enigmail before 2.0.11 allows PGP signature spoofing: for an inline PGP message, an attacker can cause the product to display a "correctly signed" message indication, but display different unauthenticated text.
