+ potentially resulting in local privilege escalation.

+ <access>local</access>
+ <affected>
+ <package name="mail-mta/xmail" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">1.22</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">1.22</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Xmail is an Internet and intranet mail server.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ iDEFENSE reported that the AddressFromAtPtr function in the
+ sendmail program fails to check bounds on arguments passed from other
+ functions, and as a result an exploitable stack overflow condition
+ occurs when specifying the "-t" command line option.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker can make a malicious call to sendmail,
+ potentially resulting in code execution with elevated privileges.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Xmail users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=mail-mta/xmail-1.22"</code>
+ </resolution>
