1. Background

The dtmail program is the mail user agent for the Common Desktop
Environment (CDE). dtmail provides an intuitive, easy-to-use user
interface for reading, sending, and managing electronic mail.
Several buffer overflows have been found in dtmail with regards to
its handling of attachments. A remote attacker may exploit
these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary instructions with the
privileges of mail and that of the user reading the email.

2. Affected Supported Versions

Solaris(tm) versions: 2.6, 2.6_x86, 2.5.1, 2.5.1_x86, 2.5, 2.5_x86,
2.4, and 2.4_x86 running CDE

3. Recommendations

Sun recommends that you install the respective patches immediately on
affected systems.
