- desc = 'Bill Nottingham reported a problem in the
- wrapping/unwrapping functions of the slrn newsreader. A long header in a
- message might overflow a buffer, which could result in executing arbitrary
- code encoded in the message.
-
- The default configuration does not have wrapping enable, but it can easily
- be enabled either by changing the configuration or pressing W while viewing a
- message.
-
- This has been fixed in version 0.9.6.2-9potato1 and we recommand that you
- upgrade your slrn package immediately.
