DSA 502-1: New exim-tls packages fix buffer overflows

Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 05/12/2004 03:00 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

An exim-tls update has been released for Debian GNU/Linux

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Debian Security Advisory DSA 502-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze
May 11th, 2004 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : exim-tls
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2004-0399 CAN-2004-0400

Georgi Guninski discovered two stack-based buffer overflows in exim and exim-tls. They can not be exploited with the default configuration from the Debian system, though. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems that are fixed with this update:

CAN-2004-0399

When "sender_verify = true" is configured in exim.conf a buffer overflow can happen during verification of the sender. This problem is fixed in exim 4.

CAN-2004-0400

When headers_check_syntax is configured in exim.conf a buffer overflow can happen during the header check. This problem does also exist in exim 4.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 3.35-3woody2.

The unstable distribution (sid) does not contain exim-tls anymore. The functionality has been incorporated in the main exim versions which have these problems fixed in version 3.36-11 for exim 3 and in version 4.33-1 for exim 4.

We recommend that you upgrade your exim-tls package.
