"The remote Qpopper server, according to its banner, is running version
4.0.3 or version 4.0.4.  These versions are vulnerable to a buffer
overflow if they are configured to allow the processing of a user's 
~/.qpopper-options file.  A local user can cause a buffer overflow by 
setting the 'bulldir' variable to something longer than 256 characters.

*** This test could not confirm the existence of the
*** problem - it relied on the banner being returned." );

#      This one script can and does test for numerous BugIDs and CVEs.  Added reference
#           links to all posted vulnerabilities with boundary lengths less than
#           the currrent script value of 2048.
#           All of these posted in the Bugtraq Database appear vulnerable (not tested).
#           Links are current up to 11/16/2002
