Description Murray McAllister 2014-08-25 04:29:42 UTC

CVE-2014-5369 was assigned to an issue in Enigmail where, if a mail only had Bcc recipients, the mail was unexpectedly sent in plain text:

http://sourceforge.net/p/enigmail/forum/support/thread/3e7268a4/#b315
http://sourceforge.net/p/enigmail/bugs/294/

This issue is reported to have been fixed in Enigmail versions 1.7.1 and 1.8.0.

As noted in http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q3/436 there are other issues that may receive a CVE; however, CVE-2014-5369 is only assigned to the issue where all recipients are Bcc'd.
