Subject: Re: PGP/MIME and S/MIME mail clients vulnerabilities
https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2018-May/060315.html has
more details:
"[...] HTML is used as a back channel to create an oracle for modified
encrypted mails. It is long known that HTML mails and in particular
external links like <img href="tla.org/TAG"/> are evil if the MUA
actually honors them (which many meanwhile seem to do again; see all
these newsletters). Due to broken MIME parsers a bunch of MUAs seem to
concatenate decrypted HTML mime parts which makes it easy to plant such
HTML snippets."
