There was now a followup:

http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2016/12/28/4

Note, that I have marked CVE-2016-10045 in the security-tracker as
not-affected, since the patch for CVE-2016-10033 introducing the issue
was not applied anywhere yet. So when CVE-2016-10033 is fixed, make
sure that the fix is complete to not make libphp-phpmailer vulnerable
to CVE-2016-10045.

Not sure though if we should change the way we track both CVEs and
treat libphp-phpmailer as vulnerable to both. But CVE-2016-10045 is
specific to the bypass of the CVE-2016-10033, so TTBOMK we are
tracking it right this way.

Regards,
Salvatore
