Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2003:274 0 high SHIPPED_LIVE Important: pine security update 2003-09-11 04:00:00 UTC

Description Mark J. Cox 2003-09-04 14:15:34 UTC
Public Sep10, Noon EDT

CAN-2003-0720: Pine buffer overflow in its handling of the
'message/external-body' type.  

CAN-2003-0721: Pine integer overflow in its MIME header parsing

Both these issues would allow a carefully crafted email to run arbitrary
commands as the user who reads the message.
