1. Background

    The dtmail program is the mail user agent for the Common Desktop
    Environment (CDE). dtmail provides an intuitive, easy-to-use user

    Several buffer overflows have been found in dtmail with regards to
    its handling of attachments. A remote attacker may exploit
    these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary instructions with the
    privileges of mail and that of the user reading the email.

2. Affected Supported Versions

Solaris(tm) versions: 2.6, 2.6_x86, 2.5.1, 2.5.1_x86, 2.5, 2.5_x86,
