CVE-2018-12019 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade SLES:15.0 enigmail to version 2.0.7-3.7.2 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 SLES.
See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.
The signature verification routine in Enigmail before 2.0.7 interprets user ids as status/control messages and does not correctly keep track of the status of multiple signatures, which allows remote attackers to spoof arbitrary email signatures via public keys containing crafted primary user ids.
