| 15 |
An attacker can send a fully legal email message with a crafted |
| 16 |
From-header and thus forcing pine to core dump on startup. |
| 17 |
The only way to launch pine is manually removing the bad message |
| 18 |
either directly from the spool, or from another MUA. Until the |
| 19 |
message has been removed or edited there is no way of accessing |
| 20 |
the INBOX using pine. |
