---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Exploitation : Local
Critical Lvl : High
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Affected software description:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Application : Eremove
version     : 1.4
URL : http://eremove.sourceforge.net/
Description :
Eremove is a simple application for linux, based on GTK, for logging into
a POP3 mail account, quickly seeing a summary of everything that is there
waiting for you, and previewing/deleteing some or all of those emails painlessly.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vulnerability:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The function priview_create  used by Eremove  is affected by a buffer-overflow
vulnerability which happens when it tries to store the exceeding data
available in the input email in the message_body  buffer of only 65534 bytes.

------------------gui.cpp-----------------------------
.....
gint preview_create (int message_num) {
        ...
        GtkWidget       *hbox;
        GtkWidget       *vscrollbar;
        char            *tmp_pntr;
        char            tmp_str[255];
        char            buf[65534];
        char            message_body[65534];
        gint            i;
        ...
                }
        if (!find_header_field("Date", buf, &date)) {
                date = (char *) malloc(strlen("unspecified")*sizeof(char));
                strcpy(date, "unspecified");
        }
        strcpy(message_body, buf);
        ...
----------------------------------------------------------

POC:
~~~~
Send EMail with Attachment more than 100 KB
and Openwith eremove.
Eremove will be crash.
