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.
