Description Pavel Kankovsky 2006-03-13 22:59:16 UTC 
From Debian advisory:
"Ulf Harnhammar discoverd a buffer overflow in metamail, an implementation of
MIME (Multi-purpose Internet Mail Extensions), that could lead to a denial of
service or potentially execute arbitrary code when processing messages."

Afaict 7.3 is the only FL-maintained distro where metamail was included.
