Ubuntu 4.10 : perl vulnerabilities (USN-72-1)

Two exploitable vulnerabilities involving setuid-enabled perl scripts have been discovered. The package 'perl-suid' provides a wrapper around perl which allows to use setuid-root perl scripts, i.e. user-callable Perl scripts which have full root privileges. Previous versions allowed users to...

Max Vozeler discovered an integer overflow in camel-lock-helper. An user-supplied length value was not validated, so that a value of -1 caused a buffer allocation of 0 bytes; this buffer was then filled by an arbitrary amount of user-supplied data. A local attacker or a malicious POP3 server coul...
