[Mimedefang] FWD: Archive::Zip new version (1.11 alpha version)

[Stephane Lentz]

HI, 

This post might interest people using MIMEDefang with Archive::Zip 
and facing some problems. 
The alpha is available at : http://tinyurl.com/378zr
Report any feedback to  Julian Field <mailscanner at ECS.SOTON.AC.UK>
Some people reported it is stable but the more testers the better ...

Subject: Archive::Zip new version
To: MAILSCANNER at JISCMAIL.AC.UK

For those people who aren't running mission-critical systems and would be
prepared to lend a hand, please could you download the 1.11 alpha version
of Archive::Zip from the link below. All you need to do is unpack the zip
file,
        perl Makefile.PL
        make
        make test
        make install
and then restart MailScanner.

This release contains an important fix to a bug which could have allowed a
remote denial of service attack against your MailScanner servers due to a
particular problem with some corrupted zip files.

Let's get this problem fixed before the bad guys find it too!

If it looks okay, I will include it next month's release. But I will not do
that unless several people have run it for a while and see no problems with
it.
