- CVEs with nessus.description==The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200403-05 (UUDeview MIME Buffer Overflow)
By decoding a MIME archive with excessively long strings for various parameters, it is possible to crash UUDeview, or cause it to execute arbitrary code.
This vulnerability was originally reported by iDEFENSE as part of a WinZip advisory [ Reference: 1 ].
Impact :
An attacker could create a specially crafted MIME file and send it via email. When recipient decodes the file, UUDeview may execute arbitrary code which is embedded in the MIME file, thus granting the attacker access to the recipient's account.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time. As a result, a software upgrade is required and users should upgrade to uudeview 0.5.20.
