CVE-2019-10732 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Debian Debian Linux, published on 7 Apr 2019. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
In KDE KMail 5.2.3, an attacker in possession of S/MIME or PGP encrypted emails can wrap them as sub-parts within a crafted multipart email. The encrypted part(s) can further be hidden using HTML/CSS or ASCII newline characters. This modified multipart email can be re-sent by the attacker to the intended receiver.
