Description

A vulnerability exists where a connection requiring TLS incorrectly reuses an<br /> existing unencrypted connection from the same connection pool. If an initial<br /> transfer is made in clear-text (via IMAP, SMTP, or POP3), a subsequent request<br /> to that same host bypasses the TLS requirement and instead transmit data<br /> unencrypted.
