SMTP: Remote Pine Exploit
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against the MIME-handling code in Pine, an e-mail program. Pine 4.56 and earlier are vulnerable. Attackers can send an e-mail containing an invalid "Charset=" header to cause a buffer overflow, enabling the attackers to execute commands at the target privilege level.
Extended Description
A vulnerability has been reported to be present in the software that may allow a remote attacker to cause an integer overflow condition in order to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system. The problem is reported to exist in the rfc2231_get_param() function found in the strings.c file. Successful exploitation of this issue may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on a remote system in order to gain unautorized access.
