________________________________________________________________________

Package name:           perl-MailTools
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2002:076
Date:                   November 7th, 2002

Affected versions:      7.2, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 9.0

Problem Description:

 A vulnerability was discovered in Mail::Mailer perl module by the SuSE
 security team during an audit.  The vulnerability allows remote
 attackers to execute arbitrary commands in certain circumstances due
 to the usage of mailx as the default mailer, a program that allows
 commands to be embedded in the mail body.
 
 This module is used by some auto-response programs and spam filters
 which make use of Mail::Mailer.
