    Package : xbuffy
    CVE ID : CVE-2014-0469

    Michael Niedermayer discovered a vulnerability in xbuffy, an utility for displaying message count in mailbox and newsgroup accounts.

    By sending carefully crafted messages to a mail or news account
    monitored by xbuffy, an attacker can trigger a stack-based buffer
    overflow, leading to xbuffy crash or even remote code execution.

    For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 3.3.bl.3.dfsg-8+deb6u1.

    For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
    version 3.3.bl.3.dfsg-8+deb7u1.

    For the testing distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
    version 3.3.bl.3.dfsg-9.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 3.3.bl.3.dfsg-9.

    We recommend that you upgrade your xbuffy packages.
