"Ulf Harnhammar discovered a number of vulnerabilities in emil, a
filter for converting Internet mail messages. The vulnerabilities fall
into two categories :
- CAN-2004-0152
Buffer overflows in (1) the encode_mime function, (2)
the encode_uuencode function, (3) the decode_uuencode
function. These bugs could allow a carefully crafted
email message to cause the execution of arbitrary code
supplied with the message when it is acted upon by emil.
- CAN-2004-0153
Format string bugs in statements which print various
error messages. The exploit potential of these bugs has
not been established, and is probably
configuration-dependent."
