Ulf Harnhammar discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in the way that metamail handles certain mail messages. An attacker could create a carefully-crafted message that, when parsed via metamail, could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running metamail.
The updated packages have been patched to address this issue.
