Red Hat Security Advisory: : : : Updated pine packages available
Notes
Topic
A vulnerability in Pine version 4.44 and earlier releases can cause
Pine to crash when sent a carefully crafted email.
[Updated 04 July 2003]
Added packages for Red Hat Linux on IBM iSeries and pSeries systems.
Details
Pine, developed at the University of Washington, is a tool for reading,
sending, and managing electronic messages (including mail and news).
A security problem was found in versions of Pine 4.44 and earlier. In these
versions, Pine does not allocate enough memory for the parsing and escaping
of the "From" header, allowing a carefully crafted email to cause a
buffer overflow on the heap. This will result in Pine crashing.
All users of Pine on Red Hat Linux are advised to update to these errata
packages containing a patch to version 4.44 of Pine that fixes this
vulnerability.
