Evil Ninja Squirrel discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in the
|
||
|
|
ir_fetch_seq() function when receiving a long response to a FETCH
|
||
|
|
command (CVE-2007-5007).

<p>
|
||
|
|
A remote attacker could entice a user to connect to a malicious or
|
||
|
|
compromised IMAP server, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary
|
||
|
|
code with the rights of the user running Balsa.
