 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDVSA-2015:011
 http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package : nail
 Date    : January 8, 2015
 Affected: Business Server 1.0
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 Updated nail package fixes security vulnerabilities:
 
 A flaw was found in the way mailx handled the parsing of email
 addresses. A syntactically valid email address could allow a local
 attacker to cause mailx to execute arbitrary shell commands through
 shell meta-characters and the direct command execution functionality
 (CVE-2004-2771, CVE-2014-7844).
