Detail
| A buffer overflow has been discovered in the sendmail program of xmail, an advanced, fast and reliable ESMTP/POP3 mail server that could lead to the execution of arbitrary code with group mail privileges. The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain xmail packages. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 1.21-3sarge1. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 1.22-1. We recommend that you upgrade your xmail package. |

| 20010 | XMail -t Argument Command Line Local Overflow A local overflow exists in XMail. The 'AddressFromAtPtr()' function fails to perform proper bounds checking resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request containing an overly long string to the -t argument, a malicious user can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity. |
