    CVE-2018-1294

    Summary: Updated apache-commons-email packages fix security vulnerability

    Details: Apache Commons-Email, from version 1.0 to 1.4 inclusive, does not properly validate bounce addresses. If a user of Commons-Email (typically an application programmer) passes unvalidated input as the so-called "Bounce Address", and that input contains line-breaks, then the email details (recipients, contents, etc.) might be manipulated (CVE-2018-1294).
