Multiple heap overflows, type confusions and out of bound reads and writes could be exploited by tricking a user into opening a malicious attachment. This would result in denial of service via application crash, or potential arbitrary code execution. For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 1.4.9-1+deb8u1. We recommend that you upgrade your tnef packages.
