Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Command Injection via the STARTTLS command. This can lead to a leak of sensible information.

Note: another remediation option is to deactivate STARTTLS and rely solely on explicit TLS for mail protocols, including SMTP, IMAP and POP3.
