The vulnerabilities fall into two categories: - CAN-2004-0152 - Buffer overflows in (1) the encode_mime function, (2) the encode_uuencode function, (3) the decode_uuencode function. These bugs could allow a carefully crafted email message to cause the execution of arbitrary code supplied with the message when it is acted upon by emil. - CAN-2004-0153 - Format string bugs in statements which print various error messages. The exploit potential of these bugs has not been established, and is probably configuration-dependent. For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 2.1.0-beta9-11woody1. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon. We recommend that you update your emil package. Upgrade Instructions - - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
