    Summary:Metamail is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the ShareThisHeader function in the splitmail.c file. A remote attacker could create a specially-crafted mail message containing a long Subject header to overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system with privileges of the user, once the message is opened.
