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.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 2.1.0-beta9-11woody1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you update your emil package.");
