Hello,

There is a problem with MIMEDefang 2.59 and 2.60 which could lead to a
denial-of-service attack, or possibly even arbitrary code execution as
the "defang" user.  If you are running 2.59 or 2.60, you're strongly encouraged
to upgrade to 2.61, available at http://www.mimedefang.org/node.php?id=1

Please note that versions 2.58 and earlier do NOT have the vulnerability.

I will release specific details of the problem in one week's time.
Here is the changelog since 2.60.

Regards,

David.

	* VERSION 2.61 RELEASED

	* SECURITY FIX: Versions 2.59 and 2.60 contained a programming
	error that could lead to a buffer overflow.  This is definitely
	exploitable as a denial-of-service attack, and potentially may
	allow arbitrary code execution.  The bug is fixed in 2.61.

	* mimedefang.c: If a message is going to end up being rejected,
	discarded or tempfailed, we don't bother carrying out requests
	to add/delete/modify headers or recipients, change the message
	body, etc.
