CVE-2005-2745
Mail.app in Mail for Apple Mac OS X 10.3.9, when using Kerberos 5 for SMTP authentication, can include uninitialized memory in a message, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.45%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
