CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT

PACKAGE   : pine
SUMMARY   : Denial of Service (DoS)
DATE      : 2002-12-04 16:36:00
ID        : CLA-2002:551

DESCRIPTION
 Pine is a mail and news text based client developed by the Washington
 University[1].
 
 Linus Sjöberg (lsjoberg@aland.net) discovered[2] a vulnerability that
 allows an attacker to send a fully legal e-mail message with the
 "From:" header crafted in such a way that will crash pine on
 startup.
 
 By exploiting this, an attacker can prevent the pine user of starting
 the program to manage his/her mailbox. It was not confirmed if it is
 possible to execute arbitrary code by exploiting this vulnerability,
 but such a possibility exists.
 
 The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
 assigned[3] the name CAN-2002-1320 to this issue.
 
 Please notice that this new version of pine (4.50) includes several
 new features and other bugfixes, as documented in the official
 changelog[4].


SOLUTION
 All pine users should upgrade.
