From martin.pitt@canonical.com Mon Feb 7 07:26:18 2005 From: Martin Pitt To: ubuntu-security-announce@lists.ubuntu.com Cc: bugtraq@securityfocus.com, full-disclosure@lists.netsys.com Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2005 12:58:32 +0100 Subject: [Full-Disclosure] [USN-76-1] Emacs vulnerability =========================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-76-1 February 07, 2005 emacs21 vulnerability CAN-2005-0100 =========================================================== A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) The following packages are affected: emacs21-bin-common The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 21.3+1-5ubuntu4.2. In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: Max Vozeler discovered a format string vulnerability in the "movemail" utility of Emacs. By sending specially crafted packets, a malicious POP3 server could cause a buffer overflow, which could have been exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user and the "mail" group (since "movemail" is installed as "setgid mail").
