CVE-2005-3256  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 enigmail to version 2:0.93-1 or higher.

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:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The key selection dialogue in Enigmail before 0.92.1 can incorrectly select a key with a user ID that does not have additional information, which allows parties with that key to decrypt the message.
