CVE-2020-15953: Injection Vulnerability

July 27, 2020 (updated July 30, 2020)

LibEtPan has a STARTTLS buffering issue that affects IMAP, SMTP, and POP3. When a server sends a begin TLS response, the client reads additional data (e.g., from a meddler-in-the-middle attacker) and evaluates it in a TLS context, aka response injection.
