    Version        : 4:20.08.3-1+deb11u1
    CVE ID         : CVE-2024-50624


    An issue has been found in kmail-account-wizard, a wizard for KDE PIM
    applications account setup.
    The issues is about a man-in-the-middle-attack when using autoconf for
    retrieving configuration.
    Please also note that for configuration with autoconf.example.com, the
    config is first fetched with https and the former http is used only as
    fallback. For configuration via example.com/.well-known/autoconfig the
    config is now fetched only with https.



    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
    4:20.08.3-1+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your kmail-account-wizard packages.
