NVD Description

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

An issue was discovered in tnef before 1.4.13. Four type confusions have been identified in the file_add_mapi_attrs() function. These might lead to invalid read and write operations, controlled by an attacker.
