CVE-2006-0709

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Metamail version 2.7-50

Description The issue is related to a buffer overflow that can be triggered by e-mail messages with a long boundary attribute. This can cause a denial of service, resulting in an application crash, or potentially allow the execution of arbitrary code.

Recommendations For Metamail version 2.7-50, consider restricting the processing of e-mail messages with long boundary attributes until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, limiting the length of boundary attributes in incoming e-mails may help minimize the risk of exploitation.
