<description>
<p>
iDEFENSE reported that the AddressFromAtPtr function in the
sendmail program fails to check bounds on arguments passed from other
functions, and as a result an exploitable stack overflow condition
occurs when specifying the "-t" command line option.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
A local attacker can make a malicious call to sendmail,
potentially resulting in code execution with elevated privileges.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Xmail users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=mail-mta/xmail-1.22&quot;</code>
</resolution>
