Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50427
Category:Fedora Local Security Checks
Title:Fedora Core 2 FEDORA-2005-001 (exim)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to exim
announced via advisory FEDORA-2005-001.

This erratum fixes two relatively minor security issues which were discovered
in Exim in the last few weeks. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CVE-2005-0021 and CVE-2005-0022
to these, respectively.

1. The function host_aton() can overflow a buffer if it is presented with an
illegal IPv6 address that has more than 8 components.

2. The second report described a buffer overflow in the function
spa_base64_to_bits(), which is part of the code for SPA authentication. This
code originated in the Samba project. The overflow can be exploited only if
you are using SPA authentication.
