NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libphp-phpmailer package and not the libphp-phpmailer package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The mailSend function in the isMail transport in PHPMailer before 5.2.18 might allow remote attackers to pass extra parameters to the mail command and consequently execute arbitrary code via a " (backslash double quote) in a crafted Sender property.
