Bollinger> IY29516 is the AIX 4.3 APAR for a variety of buffer | overflows in mail and mailx found during internal testing. (AIX 5.1 | APAR IY28170 needs to be added to the References.) I don"t know if | this is similar to CVE-2002-0041 or not due to the vague description | in the associated advisory. One of the overflows fixed is similar to | CVE-2001-0565, but CVE-2000-0545 does not apply here.
