(RHSA-2002:271) pine security update

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
verions, 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 Advanced Server are advised to
update to these errata packages containing a patch to version 4.44
of Pine that fixes this vulnerability.
