SCO Security Advisory
Subject: Linux: fetchmail at-sign buffer overflow vulnerability=20
Advisory number: CSSA-2003-001.0
Issue date: 2003 January 09
Cross reference:
__________________________________________________ _________________________=
___
1. Problem Description
Heap-based buffer overflow in fetchmail does not account for the
"@" character when determining buffer lengths for local addresses,
which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a
header with a large number of local addresses.
2. Vulnerable Supported Versions
System Package
----------------------------------------------------------------------
OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server prior to fetchmail-6.1.0-4.i386.rpm
OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation prior to fetchmail-6.1.0-4.i386.rpm
OpenLinux 3.1 Server prior to fetchmail-6.1.0-4.i386.rpm
OpenLinux 3.1 Workstation prior to fetchmail-6.1.0-4.i386.rpm
3. Solution
The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many
customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called
cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these
packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand.
