Description

Georgi Guninski discovered a potential integer overflow in the code that handles mail formatted as text/enhanced or text/richtext. This could in turn lead to a buffer overflow and potential code execution.To exploit this flaw a malicious mail message would have to include a line more than 400 megabytes long. Many mail systems have storage quotas and transport filters that would prevent a message of that size from reaching its destination, but should the message get through its size would provide more than sufficient space for a payload.
