A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way bogolexer
component of Bogofilter, fast anti-spam filtering tool by Bayesian
statistical analysis, performed decoding of certain base64 strings. A
remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted base64 code (decoding
to incomplete multibyte characters) that, when processed, would lead to
bogolexer executable crash or, potentially, arbitrary code execution
with the privileges of the user running the binary.
