Description Ludwig Nussel 2005-01-13 23:35:06 UTC 
We received the following report via security@suse.de.
The issue is public.

Looks like we don't have that patched either. I can't judge if it's
really just a DoS.

Pine is an email user agent.

The c-client IMAP client library, as used in Pine 4.44 contains an integer
overflow and integer signedness flaw.  An attacker could create a malicious
IMAP server in such a way that it would cause Pine to crash.  The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name

Users of Pine are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages which
contain a backported patch to correct this issue.
