Debian Security Advisory DSA-2585-1 security@debian.org

December 11, 2012 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : bogofilter
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2012-5468
Debian Bug : 695139
A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in bogofilter, a software
package for classifying mail messages as spam or non-spam. Crafted
mail messages with invalid base64 data could lead to heap corruption
and, potentially, arbitrary code execution.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.2.2-2+squeeze1.
For the testing distribution (wheezy) and the unstable distribution
(sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.2+dfsg1-2.
We recommend that you upgrade your bogofilter packages.
