Debian Security Advisory DSA 468-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Matt Zimmerman
March 24th, 2004 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : emil
Vulnerability : several
Problem-Type : local/remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids : CAN-2004-0152 CAN-2004-0153
Ulf Harnhammar discovered a number of vulnerabilities in emil, a
filter for converting Internet mail messages. The vulnerabilities
fall into two categories:
- CAN-2004-0152 - Buffer overflows in (1) the encode_mime function,
(2) the encode_uuencode function, (3) the decode_uuencode
function. These bugs could allow a carefully crafted email message
to cause the execution of arbitrary code supplied with the message
when it is acted upon by emil.
- CAN-2004-0153 - Format string bugs in statements which print
various error messages. The exploit potential of these bugs has
not been established, and is probably configuration-dependent.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 2.1.0-beta9-11woody1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you update your emil package.
