This fixes a security issue, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct spoofing attacks. The security issue is caused due the application not properly checking if the "Common Name" field provided inside X.509 certificates matches the requested hostname of the SMTP server. This can be exploited to e.g. conduct Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks. SOLUTION: Updated packages are available via Red Hat Network.
