Pine before version 4.21 does not properly filter shell metacharacters from URLs, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a malformed URL.
Pine 4.x allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands via an index.html file which executes lynx and obtains a uudecoded file from a malicious web server, which is then executed by Pine.
Buffer overflow in the pop-2d POP daemon in the IMAP package allows remote attackers to gain privileges via the FOLD command.
Buffer overflow in University of Washington's implementation of IMAP and POP servers.
Arbitrary command execution via IMAP buffer overflow in authenticate command.
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in (1) University of Washington IMAP Toolkit 2002 through 2007c, (2) University of Washington Alpine 2.00 and earlier, and (3) Panda IMAP allow (a) local users to gain privileges by specifying a long folder extension argument on the command line to the tmail or dmail program; and (b) remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending e-mail to a destination mailbox name composed of a username and '+' character followed by a long string, processed by the tmail or possibly dmail program.
The c-client library in Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) dated before 2002 RC2, as used by Pine 4.20 through 4.44, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (client crash) via a MIME-encoded email with Content-Type header containing an empty boundary field.
Buffer overflow in the mailvalidnetparsework function in mail.c for Washington's IMAP Server (UW-IMAP) before imap-2004g allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a mailbox name containing a single double-quote (") character without a closing quote, which causes bytes after the double-quote to be copied into a buffer indefinitely.
Buffer overflow in the automatic mail checking component of Pine 4.21 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long From: header.
Buffer overflow in University of Washington c-client library (used by pine and other programs) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long X-Keywords header.
Buffer overflow in University of Washington imapd version 4.7 allows users with a valid account to execute commands via LIST or other commands.
wu-ftp with FTP conversion enabled allows an attacker to execute commands via a malformed file name that is interpreted as an argument to the program that does the conversion, e.g. tar or uncompress.
A logic error in the CRAM-MD5 code for the University of Washington IMAP (UW-IMAP) server, when Challenge-Response Authentication Mechanism with MD5 (CRAM-MD5) is enabled, does not properly enforce all the required conditions for successful authentication, which allows remote attackers to authenticate as arbitrary users.
The GNU tar command, when used in FTP sessions, may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands.
Integer signedness error in rfc2231getparam from strings.c in PINE before 4.58 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an email that causes an out-of-bounds array access using a negative number.
Buffer overflow in PINE before 4.58 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed message/external-body MIME type.
c-client IMAP Client, as used in imap-2002b and Pine 4.53, allows remote malicious IMAP servers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via certain large (1) literal and (2) mailbox size values that cause either integer signedness errors or integer overflow errors.
URL-handling code in Pine 4.43 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a URL enclosed in single quotes and containing shell metacharacters (&).
Buffer overflow in University of Washington imap server (uw-imapd) imap-2001 (imapd 2001.315) and imap-2001a (imapd 2001.315) with legacy RFC 1730 support, and imapd 2000.287 and earlier, allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a long BODY request.
The IMAP Client for Sylpheed 0.8.11 allows remote malicious IMAP servers to cause a denial of service (crash) via certain large literal size values that cause either integer signedness errors or integer overflow errors.
MIME buffer overflow in email clients, e.g. Solaris mailtool and Outlook.
Pine 4.44 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (core dump and failed restart) via an email message with a From header that contains a large number of quotation marks (").
Pine 4.2.1 through 4.4.4 puts Unix usernames and/or uid into Sender: and X-Sender: headers, which could allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information.
smtp.c in the c-client library in University of Washington IMAP Toolkit 2007b allows remote SMTP servers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) by responding to the QUIT command with a close of the TCP connection instead of the expected 221 response code.
Buffer overflows in Washington University imapd 2000a through 2000c could allow local users without shell access to execute code as themselves in certain configurations.
Pine before version 3.94 allows local users to gain privileges via a symlink attack on a lockfile that is created when a user receives new mail.
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the Microsoft IIS ISAPI filter (aka application server module) in University of Washington Pubcookie 3.1.0, 3.1.1, 3.2 before 3.2.1b, and 3.3 before 3.3.0a allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified attack vectors.
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the modpubcookie Apache application server module in University of Washington Pubcookie 1.x, 3.0.0, 3.1.0, 3.1.1, 3.2 before 3.2.1b, and 3.3 before 3.3.0a allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified attack vectors.
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in index.cgi in the login server in University of Washington Pubcookie 3.0.0, 3.1.0, 3.1.1, 3.2 before 3.2.1b, and 3.3 before 3.3.0a allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified inputs.
Ludwig Nussel reported a flaw in libc-client / uw-imap:
The rfc822outputchar() function in the uw-imap c-client library does not check whether the buffer is already full and may therefore write one byte too much. This leads to a segfault in rfc822outputdata() later due to memcpy with size -1.
Issue was fixed in imap-2007e: Updated: 16 December 2008
imap-2007e is a maintenance release, consisting primarily of bugfixes to problems discovered in the release that affected a small number of users plus a security fix for users of the RFC822BUFFER routines.
