Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2007.113

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2007.113
Posted Jun 7, 2007
Authored by Mandriva | Site mandriva.com

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory - A flaw in the way mutt processed certain APOP authentication requests was discovered. By sending certain responses when mutt attempted to authenticate again an APOP server, a remote attacker could possibly obtain certain portions of the user's authentication credentials. A flaw in how mutt handled certain characters in gecos fields could lead to a buffer overflow. A local user able to give themselves a carefully crafted Real Name could potentially execute arbitrary code if a victim used mutt to expand the attacker's alias.

Package : mutt
Date : June 4, 2007
Affected: 2007.0, 2007.1, Corporate 3.0

Problem Description:

A flaw in the way mutt processed certain APOP authentication requests
was discovered. By sending certain responses when mutt attempted to
authenticate again an APOP server, a remote attacker could possibly
obtain certain portions of the user's authentication credentials
(CVE-2007-1558).

A flaw in how mutt handled certain characters in gecos fields could
lead to a buffer overflow. A local user able to give themselves a
carefully crafted Real Name could potentially execute arbitrary code
if a victim used mutt to expand the attacker's alias (CVE-2007-2683).

Updated packages have been patched to address these issues.
