2012-09-25 CVE-2012-1103 Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Notmuchmail Notmuch
emacs/notmuch-mua.el in Notmuch before 0.11.1, when using the Emacs interface, allows user-assisted remote attackers to read arbitrary files via crafted MML tags, which are not properly quoted in an email reply cna cause the files to be attached to the message.
