Description:
A vulnerability has been identified in EVFS allowing malicious users to escalate their privileges.
The problem is that the arguments "from", "to" and "password" aren't verified. This allows malicious users to cause a buffer overflow, which may be exploited to execute arbitrary code as the user "root".
NOTE: The documentation clearly states that it poses a security risk to install EVFS setuid root. This is why this vulnerability has been rated as "Not critical".
