CVE-2003-0128

Status: ModifiedMedium (5)—

The try_uudecoding function in mail-format.c for Ximian Evolution Mail User Agent 1.2.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a malicious uuencoded (UUE) header, possibly triggering a heap-based buffer overflow.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
