Package : libphp-swiftmailer
CVE ID : CVE-2016-10074
Debian Bug : 849626
Dawid Golunski from LegalHackers discovered that PHP Swift Mailer, a
mailing solution for PHP, did not correctly validate user input. This
allowed a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code by passing
specially formatted email addresses in specific email headers.
For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
version 5.2.2-1+deb8u1.
For the testing (stretch) and unstable (sid) distributions, this
problem has been fixed in version 5.4.2-1.1.
We recommend that you upgrade your libphp-swiftmailer packages.
