TITLE:
PEAR Mail Sendmail "Mail::Send()" Argument Injection Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37410

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37410/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in the PEAR Mail package, which can
be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The sendmail implementation of the "Mail::Send()" method does not
properly sanitise the "from" parameter before invoking sendmail,
which can be exploited to pass arbitrary arguments to the sendmail
command.

Successful exploitation requires that the sendmail implementation is
used and that the attacker is able to define the "from" parameter.

The vulnerability is reported in version 1.1.14. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Fixed in version 1.2.0b2.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported in a PEAR bug by "websec".
