Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201512-13 ========================================== Severity: High Date : 2015-12-22 CVE-ID : CVE-2015-8614 Package : claws-mail Type : buffer overflow Remote : Yes Link : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CVE Summary ======= The package claws-mail before version 3.13.1-1 is vulnerable to a remotely triggerable buffer overflow. Resolution ========== Upgrade to 3.13.1-1. # pacman -Syu "claws-mail>=3.13.1-1" The problem has been fixed upstream in version 3.13.1. Workaround ========== None. Description =========== A remotely triggerable buffer overflow has been found in the code of claws-mail handling character conversion, in functions conv_jistoeuc(), conv_euctojis() and conv_sjistoeuc(), in codeconv.c. There was no bounds checking on buffers passed to these functions, some stack-based but other potentially heap-based. This issue has been located in the wild and might currently be exploited. Impact ====== A remote attacker might be able to execute arbitrary code on the affected host by sending a crafted e-mail to a clasw-mail user.
