CVE-2020-14928 [MEDIUM] CVE-2020-14928 evolution-data-server: Response injection via STARTTLS in SMTP and POP3
CVE-2020-14928 evolution-data-server: Response injection via STARTTLS in SMTP and POP3
A flaw was found in evolution-data-server before 3.36.4. A input sanitization issue via STARTTLS in SMTP and POP3 may permit an attacker to inject responses and (in the worst case) mimic a whole session.
