Debian 3.0 DSA 300-1 Critical: Balsa Buffer Overflow Remote Attack

Byrial Jensen discovered a couple of off-by-one buffer overflow in the IMAP code of Mutt.. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 300-1 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Debian -- Security Information Martin Schulze May 6th, 2003 Debian -- Debian security FAQ - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : balsa Vulnerability : buffer overflow Problem-Type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE Id : CAN-2003-0167 Byrial Jensen discovered a couple of off-by-one buffer overflow in the IMAP code of Mutt, a text-oriented mail reader supporting IMAP, MIME, GPG, PGP and threading. This code is imported in the Balsa package. This problem could potentially allow a remote malicious IMAP server to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted mail folder. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.4-2.2. The old stable distribution (potato) does not seem to be affected by this problem. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your balsa package. Upgrade Instructions - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
