Discussion
POP Peeper 'From' Mail Header Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
POP Peeper is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized memory buffer.
An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in denial-of-service conditions.
UPDATE (March 23, 2009): This issue may also be triggered by loading an '.eml' mail file that includes an overly long string as a 'From' mail header.
POP Peeper 3.4.0.0 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
