+ <p>A vulnerability has been discovered in GNU Mailutils. Please review the CVE identifier referenced below for details.</p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>mail(1) from mailutils would process escape sequences (like ~! shellcommand) in message bodies piped/redirected in. This creates an RCE if some part of the message body is under an attacker&#39;s control.</p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All Mailutils users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-mail/mailutils-3.12-r3"
+ </code>
