Elm is a terminal mode email client.

A buffer overflow flaw in Elm was discovered that was triggered by viewing
a mailbox containing a message with a carefully crafted ‘Expires’ header.
An attacker could create a malicious message that would execute arbitrary
code with the privileges of the user who received it. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name
CAN-2005-2665 to this issue.

Users of Elm should update to this updated package, which contains a
backported patch that corrects this issue.
