CVE-2000-0353

Summary

CVE-2000-0353 is a vulnerability affecting Pine 4.x email clients. An attacker can exploit this weakness by crafting a malicious index.html file, which, when accessed, causes Pine to execute lynx and retrieve a uudecoded file from a malicious server. The decoded file is subsequently executed by Pine, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the vulnerable system. This issue poses a significant risk as it allows remote code execution. Email users running Pine 4.x should update to a secure version or take appropriate measures to prevent access to potentially harmful files.
