Vulnerability CVE-2007-1265
Published: 2007-03-06   Modified: 2012-02-12

Description:
KMail 1.9.5 and earlier does not properly use the --status-fd argument when invoking GnuPG, which prevents KMail from visually distinguishing between signed and unsigned portions of OpenPGP messages with multiple components, which allows remote attackers to forge the contents of a message without detection.
