Name : php-pear-Mail
Product : Fedora 11
Version : 1.1.14
Release : 5.fc11
URL : http://pear.php.net/package/Mail
Summary : Class that provides multiple interfaces for sending emails
Description :
PEAR's Mail package defines an interface for implementing mailers under the
PEAR hierarchy. It also provides supporting functions useful to multiple
mailer backends. Currently supported backends include: PHP's native
mail() function, sendmail, and SMTP. This package also provides a RFC822
email address list validation utility class.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Fix CVE-2009-4023, CVE-2009-4111 PEAR's Mail class did not properly escape
content of mail header fields, when using the sendmail backend. A remote
attacker could send an email message, with specially-crafted headers to local
user, leading to disclosure of content and potentially, to modification of
arbitrary system file, once the email message was processed by the PEAR's Mail
class.
