Package        : xmail
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
Problem type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CVE-2005-2943

A buffer overflow has been discovered in the sendmail program of
xmail, an advanced, fast and reliable ESMTP/POP3 mail server that
could lead to the execution of arbitrary code with group mail
privileges.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain xmail packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.21-3sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.22-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your xmail package.
