| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 4331 | Metamail Long Character/Non-ASCII Message Parsing System Overflow The Metamail fails when parsing the mail headers resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted mail message containing a header with encoded non-ASCII characters and a long character set name , an attacker can overflow a buffer and execute code on system with privileges of the user, once the message is opened resulting in a loss of confidentiality and/or integrity. |
| 3988 | Metamail Message Parsing System Format String Compromise A remote overflow exists in Metamail. Metamail fails to correctly handle messages containing certain encoded characters in mail headers or containing a "multipart/alternative" media type and format specifiers in the "Content-Type" header resulting in a format string overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause the execution of arbitrary code on a user's system. resulting in a loss of confidentiality, integrity, and/or availability. |
| 3987 | Metamail Long Subject Header Message Parsing System Overflow The Metamail fails to check buffer overflow in the ShareThisHeader function in the splitmail.c file. With a specially crafted mail message, containing a long Subject header an attacker can cause buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on system with privileges of the user, once the message is opened, resulting in a loss of confidentiality and/or integrity. |
