Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50462
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu 4.10 USN-26-1 (bogofilter)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to bogofilter
announced via advisory USN-26-1.

Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho discovered a Denial of Service vulnerability in
bogofilter. The quoted-printable decoder handled certain Base-64
encoded strings in an invalid way which caused a buffer overflow and
an immediate program abort.

The exact impact depends on the way bogofilter is integrated into the
system. In common setups, the mail that contains such malformed
headers is deferred by the mail delivery agent and remains in the
queue, where it will eventually bounce back to the sender.

The following packages are affected: bogofilter

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 0.92.0-1ubuntu0.1. In general, a standard system upgrade is
sufficient to effect the necessary changes.
