NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bogofilter package and not the bogofilter package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Multiple buffer underflows in the base64 decoder in base64.c in (1) bogofilter and (2) bogolexer in bogofilter before 1.2.2 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption and application crash) via an e-mail message with invalid base64 data that begins with an = (equals) character.
