Eric S. Raymond Fetchmail Email Header Parsing Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
A buffer overflow vulnerability has been reported for Fetchmail. Reportedly, this vulnerability is due to improper checks of user-supplied values for email headers. Fetchmail does not properly check the size of some user-specified data when copying information into stack buffers. A remote attacker is able to trigger the overflow condition and cause Fetchmail to improperly allocate space on the system stack. Code execution may be possible. |
