  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Max Vozeler discovered several format string vulnerabilities in the movemail utility of Emacs. They can be exploited when connecting to a malicious POP server and can allow an attacker can execute arbitrary code under the privileges of the user running Emacs.

Max Vozeler discovered a format string vulnerability in the 'movemail' utility of Emacs. By sending specially crafted packets, a malicious POP3 server could cause a buffer overflow, which could have been exploited to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user and the 'mail' group (since 'movemail' is installed as 'setgid mail').
