Package : nail
Date : January 8, 2015
Affected: Business Server 1.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Updated nail package fixes security vulnerabilities:
A flaw was found in the way mailx handled the parsing of email
addresses. A syntactically valid email address could allow a local
attacker to cause mailx to execute arbitrary shell commands through
shell meta-characters and the direct command execution functionality
(CVE-2004-2771, CVE-2014-7844).
