+  <title>Multiple Vulnerabilities in ssmtp</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    There are multiple format string vulnerabilities in the SSMTP package,
+    which may allow an attacker to run arbitrary code with ssmtp's privileges
+    (potentially root).

+  <background>
+    <p>
+    SSMTP is a very simple mail transfer agent (MTA) that relays mail from the
+    local machine to another SMTP host. It is not designed to function as a
+    full mail server; its sole purpose is to relay mail.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>
+    There are two format string vulnerabilities inside the log_event() and
+    die() functions of ssmtp. Strings from outside ssmtp are passed to various
+    printf()-like functions from within log_event() and die() as format
+    strings. An attacker could cause a specially-crafted string to be passed to
+    these functions, and potentially cause ssmtp to execute arbitrary code.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    If ssmtp connects to a malicious mail relay server, this vulnerability can
+    be used to execute code with the rights of the mail sender, including root.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time. All users are advised to upgrade
+    to the latest available version of ssmtp.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All users are advised to upgrade to the latest available version of ssmtp.
