CVE-2007-1265
KMail <= 1.9.5 - Email Content Forgery via OpenPGP Message Parsing
Title source: llmDescription
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.
