Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:047 (metamail)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to metamail announced via advisory MDKSA-2006:047. Ulf Harnhammar discovered a buffer overflow vulnerability in the way that metamail handles certain mail messages. An attacker could create a carefully-crafted message that, when parsed via metamail, could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running metamail. The updated packages have been patched to address this issue. Affected: 10.1, 10.2, 2006.0, Corporate 3.0 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2006:047 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.5
