------- Comment #6 From Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2005-07-30 01:37:18 0000 ------- 
On further investigation, I am not sure this is a vulnerability at all. This is
an SMTP client, not a daemon, so the attack is local and may be used to elevate
privileges to... yourself ?

------- Comment #7 From Fernando J. Pereda (RETIRED) 2005-07-30 02:34:08 0000 ------- 
mmmm nope. A malicious server 'might' inject code; I had a:

syslog(something,string_from_server);

where I should have:

syslog(something,"%s",string_from_server);

HTH

Cheers,
Ferdy

Thanks for the details. Rerating B2. I'll ask for a CAN number to MITRE.

------- Comment #9 From Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2005-07-30 06:35:11 0000 ------- 
This is still missing the hppa keyword.

------- Comment #10 From René Nussbaumer 2005-07-30 13:56:31 0000 ------- 
Stable on hppa

------- Comment #11 From Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2005-07-31 04:25:27 0000 ------- 
Ready for GLSA, waiting a little for the CAN number to be attributed.

------- Comment #12 From Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) 2005-08-02 05:46:23 0000 ------- 
Enough waiting, we'll add the CAN afterwards when it is attributed.
