While the fix in commit        NH> [942e85] works for local, private echos, it does not take into account        NH> the possibillity of two users having the same name (e.g. "Tom Smith")        NH> but different AKAs. Since the fix in [942e85] does not check the From        NH> / To addresses this may lead to the possibility of a user"Tom        NH> Smith@1:2/3" reading and being able to list messages for "Tom        NH> Smith@3:4/5".              This check should only be applied in NetMail areas. EchoMail areas, by        definition, do not specify a destination address, but only a to name. There        is no way, using standard FTN technology, to address an EchoMail message, even        one flagged as private, to only Tom Smith@3:4/5 but not Tom Smith@1:2/3. The        message would be sent to all nodes connected to the echo, and any Tom Smith        would be able to read them on any node in the echo.               NH> I've already fixed the if (..) statments in mail.c (lines 1116, 1258        NH> and 1909) and will provide a proper pull request in the next few days.        NH> I just wanted to inform you that there is still a security issue and        NH> that there is work being done to fix it.              I will certainly look at the pull request when you send it, and evaluate        accordingly.              Andrew              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: Phoenix BBS * phoenix.bnbbbs.net (1:320/219)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 123 16/0 18/200 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 123/130       SEEN-BY: 123/131 124/5016 154/10 203/0 124 221/0 1 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/101 275 424 426 452 550 664 1016 230/0 240/5832 249/110       SEEN-BY: 249/206 317 400 261/38 280/464 5003 288/100 292/854 8125       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/119 219 319 322/0 757 342/200 396/45 423/120 633/280       SEEN-BY: 712/848 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 320/219 203/0 280/464 229/101 426           |
