- Eckehard Berns discovered a buffer overflow in the munpack program
- which is used for decoding (respectively) binary files in MIME
- (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) format mail messages. If
- munpack is run on an appropriately malformed email (or news article)
- then it will crash, and perhaps can be made to run arbitrary code.
- Herbert Xu reported a second vulnerability which affected malformed
- filenames that refer to files in upper directories like "../a". The
- security impact is limited, though, because only a single leading
- "../" was accepted and only new files can be created (i.e. no files
- will be overwritten).
- Both problems have been fixed in version 1.5-5potato2 for the old
- stable distribution (potato), in version 1.5-7woody2 for the current
- stable distribution (woody) and in version 1.5-9 for the unstable
- distribution (sid).
- We recommend that you upgrade your mpack package immediately.
