Ulf Härnhammar reported four bugs in metamail: two are format string bugs and two are buffer overflows. The bugs are in SaveSquirrelFile(), PrintHeader(), and ShareThisHeader().
These vulnerabilities could be triggered by a maliciously formatted email message if `metamail' or `splitmail' is used to process it, possibly resulting in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user reading mail.
