Detail
| Ulf Harnhammar discoverd a buffer overflow in metamail, an implementation of MIME (Multi-purpose Internet Mail Extensions), that could lead to a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code when processing messages. For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.7-45woody.4. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 2.7-47sarge1. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 2.7-51. We recommend that you upgrade your metamail package. |
