Hypermail is a tool to convert a Unix mail-box file to a set of cross-
referenced HTML documents.
During an internal source code review done by Thomas Biege several bugs
where found in hypermail and its tools. These bugs allow remote code
execution, local tmp race conditions, denial-of-service conditions and
read access to files belonging to the host hypermail is running on.
Additionally the mail CGI program can be abused by spammers as email-
relay and should thus be disabled.

There is no temporary fix known other then disabling hypermail. Please
download and install the new packages from our FTP servers.

Please download the update package for your distribution and verify its
integrity by the methods listed in section 3) of this announcement.
Then, install the package using the command 'rpm -Fhv file.rpm' to apply
the update." );

"Ulf Harnhammar discovered two problems in hypermail, a program to
create HTML archives of mailing lists.

An attacker could craft a long filename for an attachment that would
overflow two buffers when a certain option for interactive use was
given, opening the possibility to inject arbitrary code. This code
would then be executed under the user id hypermail runs as, mostly as
a local user. Automatic and silent use of hypermail does not seem to
be affected.

The CGI program mail, which is not installed by the Debian package,
does a reverse look-up of the user's IP number and copies the
resulting hostname into a fixed-size buffer. A specially crafted DNS
reply could overflow this buffer, opening the program to an exploit."
