+Package: ssmtp
+Vulnerability: denial of service, code execution
+OpenPKG Specific: no
+
+Affected Releases: Affected Packages: Corrected Packages:
+OpenPKG CURRENT <= ssmtp-2.48-20040207 >= ssmtp-2.60.8-20040507
+OpenPKG 2.0 <= ssmtp-2.48-2.0.0 >= ssmtp-2.48-2.0.1
+OpenPKG 1.3 <= ssmtp-2.48-1.3.0 >= ssmtp-2.48-1.3.1
+
+Dependent Packages: none
+
+Description:
+ Two format string bugs were discovered in sSMTP [1], a simple
+ sending-only Mail Transport Agent (MTA). Untrusted values in the
+ functions die() and log_event() were passed to printf(3)-like
+ functions as format strings. These vulnerabilities could potentially
+ allow remote mail relays to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) and
+ possibly execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and
+ Exposures (CVE) project assigned the id CAN-2004-0156 [2] to the
+ problem.
+
+ Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/rpm -q
+ ssmtp". If you have the "ssmtp" package installed and its version is
+ affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately upgrade it
+ (see Solution) [3][4].
+
+Solution:
+ Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
+ [5][6], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [7][8] or a mirror
+ location, verify its integrity [9], build a corresponding binary RPM
+ from it [3] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the
+ binary RPM [4]. For the most recent release OpenPKG 2.0, perform the
+ following operations to permanently fix the security problem (for
+ other releases adjust accordingly).
+
+ $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
+ ftp> bin
+ ftp> cd release/2.0/UPD
+ ftp> get ssmtp-2.48-2.0.1.src.rpm
+ ftp> bye
+ $ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -v --checksig ssmtp-2.48-2.0.1.src.rpm
+ $ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm --rebuild ssmtp-2.48-2.0.1.src.rpm
+ $ su -
+ # <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/ssmtp-2.48-2.0.1.*.rpm
