Name : php-pear-Mail Product : Fedora 10 Version : 1.1.14 Release : 5.fc10 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog:
