Debian Bug : 704675 760443
Boris 'pi' Piwinger and Tavis Ormandy reported a heap overflow
vulnerability in procmail's formail utility when processing
specially-crafted email headers. A remote attacker could use this flaw
to cause formail to crash, resulting in a denial of service or data
loss, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.22-20+deb7u1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.22-22.
We recommend that you upgrade your procmail packages.
