metamail security update

CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2006:0217-01

Metamail is a system for handling multimedia mail.

A buffer overflow bug was found in the way Metamail processes certain mail
messages. An attacker could create a carefully-crafted message such that
when it is opened by a victim and parsed through Metamail, it runs
arbitrary code as the victim. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project (cve.mitre.org) assigned the name CVE-2006-0709 to this issue.

Users of Metamail should upgrade to this updated package, which contains a
backported patch that is not vulnerable to this issue.
