Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in gnubiff, which potentially can be exploited to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or compromise a vulnerable system.
1) An unspecified boundary error exists within the POP3 functionality. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow and may potentially allow execution of arbitrary code.
2) An error within the POP3 functionality when processing UIDL lists can be exploited to disrupt the functionality and eventually crash the process via an infinite UIDL list.
