Detail
| Max Vozeler discovered several format string vulnerabilities in the movemail utility of Emacs, the well-known editor. Via connecting to a malicious POP server an attacker can execute arbitrary code under the privileges of group mail. For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 21.4.6-8woody2. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 21.4.16-2. We recommend that you upgrade your emacs packages. |

| 13588 | GNU Emacs movemail popmail() Format String A remote overflow exists in GNU Emacs. The movemail function fails to adequately check responses from POP3 Servers in popmail() resulting in a format string overflow. With a specially crafted response, an attacker with a malicious POP3 Server can gain remote access with privilege of the logged on user and the effective group ID of the mail group resulting in a loss of integrity. |
