Synopsis :

These remote packages are missing security patches :

Description :

handling. Certain invalid UTF-8 character sequences caused an invalid
memory access. By sending a specially crafted email, a remote attacker
could exploit this to crash bogofilter or possibly even execute
arbitrary code with bogofilter's rights.

Solution :

- bogofilter-bdb-0.95.2-1ubuntu1.1 (Ubuntu 5.10)
