Package : emacs21
Vulnerability : format string
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2005-0100
Max Vozeler discovered several format string vulnerabilities in the
movemail utility of Emacs, the well-known editor. Via connecting to a
malicious POP server an attacker can execute arbitrary code under the
privileges of group mail.
For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in
version 21.2-1woody3.
