A flaw was found in tnef. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted file containing uncompressed Rich Text Format (RTF) data. Because the application fails to properly validate input buffer boundaries before copying data in getrtfdatafrombuf(), reading beyond the allocated memory occurs. This flaw can cause the application to crash, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS), or leak sensitive memory contents into extracted output files.

A flaw was found in tnef. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF) file containing multiple message bodies. During extraction, improper memory management triggers a use-after-free and double-free condition, causing the application to crash and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

A flaw was found in tnef. A heap-based buffer overflow can occur in the findfreenumber() function when generating numbered backup suffixes for duplicate filenames. When numbered backups are enabled and file overwriting is disabled, an attacker can supply a specially crafted Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF) file with an excessive number of colliding attachment filenames, causing the numeric counter to write past the allocated memory buffer. This issue may result in an application crash, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS), or potentially arbitrary code execution.

An issue was discovered in tnef before 1.4.13. Two type confusions have been identified in the parsefile() function. These might lead to invalid read and write operations, controlled by an attacker.

An issue was discovered in tnef before 1.4.13. Several Integer Overflows, which can lead to Heap Overflows, have been identified in the functions that wrap memory allocation.

An issue was discovered in tnef before 1.4.13. Four type confusions have been identified in the fileaddmapiattrs() function. These might lead to invalid read and write operations, controlled by an attacker.

An issue was discovered in tnef before 1.4.13. Two OOB Writes have been identified in src/mapiattr.c:mapiattrread(). These might lead to invalid read and write operations, controlled by an attacker.

In tnef before 1.4.18, an attacker may be able to write to the victim's .ssh/authorizedkeys file via an e-mail message with a crafted winmail.dat application/ms-tnef attachment, because of a heap-based buffer over-read involving strdup.
