Detail
| "infamous41md" discovered several vulnerabilities in the GNU mailutils package which contains utilities for handling mail. These problems can lead to a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following vulnerabilities. CAN-2005-1520 Buffer overflow mail header handling may allow a remote attacker to execute commands with the privileges of the targeted user. CAN-2005-1521 Combined integer and heap overflow in the fetch routine can lead to the execution of arbitrary code. CAN-2005-1522 Denial of service in the fetch routine. CAN-2005-1523 Format string vulnerability can lead to the execution of arbitrary code. For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 20020409-1woody2. For the testing distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 0.6.1-4. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 0.6.1-4. We recommend that you upgrade your mailutils packages. |

Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)
| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 16857 | GNU Mailutils imap4d Server Client Command Format String Mailutils contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to execute arbitrary code. The issue is triggered when format specifiers are sent as part of user-supplied commands, and are unchecked by the imap4d server. It is possible that the flaw may allow arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity. |
| 16856 | GNU Mailutils imap4d FETCH Command Remote DoS Mailutils contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when a FETCH command with a very large sequence range is sent to the imap4d server, and will result in loss of availability for the platform. |
| 16855 | GNU Mailutils imap4d fetch_io Function Remote Overflow A remote overflow exists in Mailutils. The imap4d server fails to properly validate the fetch_io function resulting in an integer overflow. With a specially crafted END command, an attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity. |
| 16854 | GNU Mailutils Mail header_get_field_name() Function Remote Overflow A remote overflow exists in Mailutils. The mail program fails to validate a buffer in the header_get_field_name() function resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted email message, an attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity. |
