From: Antonio Radici Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2015 11:48:47 +0200 Subject: 771125-CVE-2014-9116-jessie This patch solves the issue raised by CVE-2014-9116 in bug 771125. We correctly redefine what are the whitespace characters as per RFC5322; by doing so we prevent mutt_substrdup from being used in a way that could lead to a segfault. The lib.c part was written by Antonio Radici to prevent crashes due to this kind of bugs from happening again. Signed-off-by: Matteo F.
