Subject: CVE-2014-0469: xbuffy stack-based buffer overflow in subject
processing
Hi,
just to let the list know that a Debian (and derivatives, like Ubuntu)
specific vulnerability was found and fixed in xbuffy (a program to
monitor mailboxes and newsgroups and show a mail count).
The vulnerability was a stack-based buffer overflow, which could be
triggered by a remote attacker sending a carefully crafted mail.
It was introduced by a Debian-specific patch, and the software looks
dead upstream, so we issued CVE-2014-0469 from our pool.
The fix is only available in unstable [1] now, but stable and oldstable
should follow soon.
