"
PINE contains two exploitable vulnerabilities that can be triggered
when a victim opens a specially crafted email sent by an attacker.
....
Vulnerability 1: Buffer Overflow
....
Vulnerability 2: Integer Overflow
....
III. ANALYSIS
If an attacker were to socially engineer a PINE user into opening a
malformed e-mail message, arbitrary code embedded within can then run
with privileges of the currently logged on user. It would be trivial
for this exploit to be fashioned into a worm, targeting e-mail
addresses found in any readable text files (inbox, etc.).
IV. DETECTION
PINE 4.56 and earlier is vulnerable.
