PROBLEM
Nobuo Miwa found following. There were some Buffer overflow
vulneravilities in Beckey! Internet Mail software. The problem
is Content-Type: header. Becky! copies Content-Type: value to
Becky-char: header when you reply or forward it to someone. But
if Content-Type: header's value was over 4500 characters, its
buffer is overflowed.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=aaaaaaa...
Its malicious header won't be noticed by users.
SOLUTION
Nobuo contacted author and got fix versions. Fixed version:
- Becky! Internet Mail ver 1.26.04 (for "Reply" bug)
- Becky! Internet Mail ver 1.26.05 (for "Forward" bug)
