CVE-2017-17844 high priority: Ubuntu including 1 source packages (enigmail), 5 status rows across 5 suites (artful, trusty, upstream, xenial, zesty): released 4, ignored 1.

Description:

An issue was discovered in Enigmail before 1.9.9. A remote attacker can obtain cleartext content by sending an encrypted data block (that the attacker cannot directly decrypt) to a victim, and relying on the victim to automatically decrypt that block and then send it back to the attacker as quoted text, aka the TBE-01-005 "replay" issue.
