Detail

It was discovered that tnef, a tool used to unpack MIME attachments of type "application/ms-tnef", did not correctly validate its input. An attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into opening a malicious attachment, which would result in a denial-of-service by application crash.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.9-1+deb8u3.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.12-1.2.

We recommend that you upgrade your tnef packages.
