CVE-2003-0143
The pop_msg function in qpopper 4.0.x before 4.0.5fc2 does not null terminate a message buffer after a call to Qvsnprintf, which could allow authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow in a mdef command with a long macro name.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (8.60%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
