Fedora 8: 2008-5480 Moderate: Libetpan NULL Pointer Dereference Crash

fedora
Calendar Grey June 26, 2008
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Fedora 8 has released an important update for libetpan, now at version 0.54. This update fixes a mail header parser crash, boosting stability and performance for users.
Update to new upstream version 0.54 fixing a crash (NULL pointer dereference) in the mail message header parser

Summary

The purpose of this mail library is to provide a portable, efficient middleware

for different kinds of mail access. When using the drivers interface, the

interface is the same for all kinds of mail access, remote and local mailboxes.

Update to new upstream version 0.54 fixing a crash (NULL pointer dereference) in

the mail message header parser. Note: There is no application in Fedora using

libetpan library for which such crash could be considered a security issue. This

can only be a security sensitive issue for some 3rd party, not packages

applications.
