Affected: >= 1.6.0 and < 1.6.17 · >= 1.7.0 and < 1.7.2

Fixed in: 1.6.17, 1.7.2

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 1.6.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison webmail sudo apt install webmail=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.6.0> sudo apt-mark hold webmail

dnf --showduplicates list webmail sudo dnf downgrade webmail-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.6.0> sudo dnf versionlock add webmail

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
