Description Vincent Danen 2012-03-05 16:24:22 UTC

It was found that in versions of notmuch prior to 0.11.1, certain input passed via MML tags were not properly sanitized in notmuch-mua.el before being used.  If a user used the Emacs interface, this could be exploited to attach arbitrary local files that the victim has permission to read, to outgoing messages, if the victim were tricked into replying to a message containing a specially-crafted MML tag.  This was due to the Emacs interface not quoting these tags in the reply text, which it now does [1].
