Synopsis ========
Several format string bugs and buffer overflows were discovered in metamail, potentially allowing execution of arbitrary code remotely.
Background ==========
Metamail is a program that decodes MIME encoded mail. It is therefore often automatically called when an email is received or read.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-mail/metamail < 2.7.45.3 >= 2.7.45.3
Description ===========
Ulf Harnhammar found two format string bugs and two buffer overflow bugs in Metamail.
Impact ======
A remote attacker could send a malicious email message and execute arbitrary code with the rights of the process calling the Metamail program.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All users of Metamail should upgrade to the latest stable version:
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv ">=net-mail/metamail-2.7.45.3" # emerge ">=net-mail/metamail-2.7.45.3"
