FreeBSD : libetpan -- null dereference vulnerability in MIME parsing component (57600032-34fe-11e7-8965-bcaec524bf84)

high Nessus Plugin ID 100081

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

rwhitworth reports :

I was using American Fuzzy Lop (afl-fuzz) to fuzz input to the mime-parse test program. Is fixing these crashes something you're interested in? The input files can be found here :
https://github.com/rwhitworth/libetpan-fuzz/.

The files can be executed as ./mime-parse id_filename to cause seg faults.

Solution

Update the affected package.
