Detail
Michael Niedermayer discovered a vulnerability in xbuffy, an utility for displaying message count in mailbox and newsgroup accounts. By sending carefully crafted messages to a mail or news account monitored by xbuffy, an attacker can trigger a stack-based buffer overflow, leading to xbuffy crash or even remote code execution. For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 3.3.bl.3.dfsg-8+deb6u1. For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 3.3.bl.3.dfsg-8+deb7u1. For the testing distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 3.3.bl.3.dfsg-9. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 3.3.bl.3.dfsg-9. We recommend that you upgrade your xbuffy packages. |
