Hash: SHA1

Versions prior to 1.0.3 of the nmh package contained a vulnerability
where incoming mail messages with carefully designed MIME headers could
cause nmh's mhshow command to execute arbitrary shell code.

This bug has been fixed in nmh 1.0.3 and we encourage you to upgrade
immediately.  The fixed package is available at

  ftp://ftp.mhost.com/pub/nmh/nmh-1.0.3.tar.gz

The MD5sum of nmh-1.0.3.tar.gz is 02519bf8f7ff8590ecfbee9f9500ea07.

For the nmh authors,

Ruud de Rooij.
