+ <p>Ulf Harnhammar has discovered a remotely exploitable buffer
+ overflow in Elm e-mail client when parsing the Expires header
+ of an e-mail message:</p>
+ <blockquote cite="http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/fulldisclosure/2005-08/0688.html">
+ <p>The attacker only needs to send the victim an e-mail
+ message. When the victim with that message in his or her
+ inbox starts Elm or simply views the inbox in an already
+ started copy of Elm, the buffer overflow will happen
+ immediately. The overflow is stack-based, and it gives full
+ control over EIP, EBP and EBX. It is caused by a bad
+ sscanf(3) call, using a format string containing &quot;%s&quot;
+ to copy from a long char array to a shorter array.</p>
