Ulf Harnhammar discovered a number of vulnerabilities in emil, both various buffer overflows and format string bugs.. Debian Security Advisory DSA 468-1 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Debian -- Security Information Matt Zimmerman March 24th, 2004 Debian -- Debian security FAQ - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : emil Vulnerability : several Problem-Type : local/remote Debian-specific: no CVE Ids : CAN-2004-0152 CAN-2004-0153 Ulf Harnhammar discovered a number of vulnerabilities in emil, a filter for converting Internet mail messages. The vulnerabilities fall into two categories: - CAN-2004-0152 - Buffer overflows in (1) the encode_mime function, (2) the encode_uuencode function, (3) the decode_uuencode function. These bugs could allow a carefully crafted email message to cause the execution of arbitrary code supplied with the message when it is acted upon by emil. - CAN-2004-0153 - Format string bugs in statements which print various error messages. The exploit potential of these bugs has not been established, and is probably configuration-dependent. For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 2.1.0-beta9-11woody1. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon. We recommend that you update your emil package. Upgrade Instructions - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file.
