Pine Empty MIME Boundary Denial Of Service Vulnerability

Pine is an open source mail user agent distributed by the University of Washington. It is freely available for Unix, Linux, and Microsoft Operating Systems.

When a mail is received by pine that contains MIME content, and the value of the MIME boundary is blank, pine becomes unstable. This vulnerability has been discovered to cause a core dump in the pine client, and could be used to deny service to legitimate users of the client.
