Title:	Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2003:635
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2003:635. Balsa is a GNOME email client. It includes code from mutt, wich is a text-mode email client. An update[1] for mutt with a fix for a buffer overflow vulnerability[2] (CVE-2003-0140) in the code that handles IMAP folders was released in March 14th, 2003. The mutt version distributed with Conectiva Linux 9 (mutt-1.5.4-28732cl) is not vulnerable to this issue, but balsa versions <= 1.2 incorporate the same code from the old mutt, thus being also vulnerable (Conectiva Linux 9 includes the package balsa-2.0.9-29085cl). An attacker who is able to control an IMAP server accessed by balsa can exploit this vulnerability to remotely crash the client or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running it. This update fixes this vulnerability. Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/?id=a&anuncio=000626&idioma=en http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2003-0140 http://distro2.conectiva.com.br/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8282 http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=CLA-2003:635 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002003 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.5
