fedora
Calendar Grey October 25, 2017
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Addresses integer overflow weakness in tnef for Fedora 26, improving email handling protection through version enhancement.
Update to 1.4.15

Summary

This application provides a way to unpack Microsoft MS-TNEF MIME attachments.

It operates like tar in order to unpack files of type "application/ms-tnef",

which may have been placed into the MS-TNEF attachment instead of being

attached separately.

Such files may have attachment names similar to WINMAIL.DAT

Update to 1.4.15. Fixes CVE-2017-8911
