[Mimedefang] Inoffizial MIME-tools-5.411a-RP-Patched-04 available (includes data corruption fix)

[Martin Blapp]

Hi all,

I just put up a new patched version of MIME-tools online:

http://people.freebsd.org/~mbr/distfiles/MIME-tools-5.411a-RP-Patched-04.tar.gz

Changes:

- Backport from 6.002: Parser memory leak fixed. The closure-based
  task/benchmark mechanisms created for 5.5 were leaking references
  like crazy.  That's been stopped.

- Backport from 6.002: Correct "7_bit", "7-bit", and "7 bit" to
  "7bit"; likewise for "8bit".

- MIME::Body produces incorrect quoted-printable encoding if the body is
  non-text data which can lead to data corruption.

You'll need MIME::QuotedPrint 3.03 installed, because encode_qp() takes
now three arguments. I just upgraded to FreeBSD port of MIME::Base64
to version 3.03, so portsupgrade will work there.

This version is the only one which passes all tests from
http://www.testvirus.org in combination with clamd and scan_entity().

In MIME-tools-5.411a-RP-Patched-03 I added BinHex-encoding support for
application/mac-binhex40 and application/mac-binhex mimetypes.

6.002 has unfortunatly some bugs and does not work reliable so I'll continue
to offer packages until David does fix this issue ;-)
