    Debian Security Advisory DSA 373-1 security@debian.org

    Package : autorespond
    Vulnerability : buffer overflow
    Problem-Type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Ids : CAN-2003-0654

    Christian Jaeger discovered a buffer overflow in autorespond, an email
    autoresponder used with qmail. This vulnerability could potentially
    be exploited by a remote attacker to gain the privileges of a user who
    has configured qmail to forward messages to autorespond. This
    vulnerability is currently not believed to be exploitable due to
    incidental limits on the length of the problematic input, but there
    may be situations in which these limits do not apply.

    For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.0.2-2woody1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.

    We recommend that you update your autorespond package.

    Upgrade Instructions
