This note is to announce the availability of the Pine Message System
version 4.58. This is a maintenance release with only a few new features.

Perhaps the most notable change is a fix for a potential security problem.

 *  Fixed potential security problems caused by maliciously-formed RFC
    2231 attachment parameters

Michal 'Spock' Januszewski  

Are you the author of this patch?
If not can you please append a url where it comes from?
Comment 4 Rajiv Aaron Manglani (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-09-13 22:48:51 UTC
looks like that patch might come from:

http://www.math.washington.edu/~chappa/pine/
Comment 5 Rajiv Aaron Manglani (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-09-13 23:01:43 UTC
raker: in the pine ebuild changelog you said "A hand picked group of patches
from the chappa collection."  ...  is this still the case?

could you hand pick them again from chappa's all.tar.gz for 4.58 ?

thanks
Comment 6 Michal Januszewski (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-09-14 00:33:21 UTC
I'm not the author of the attached patch. It's pine-4.56-chappa-20030609 (from Portage) remade so that it would work with pine-4.58. Since there are now versions of these patches for 4.58 on chappa's site, I believe it would be best to use them instead of the attached one.
Comment 7 Rajiv Aaron Manglani (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-09-15 22:33:55 UTC
i just checked in pine-4.58.ebuild. i removed the chappa patches for now since
an exploit for pine =< 4.56 was just published.

a GLSA will follow soon.
Comment 8 Rajiv Aaron Manglani (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-09-15 23:35:12 UTC
just checked in pine-4.58-r1.ebuild, keyworded for testing. it includes
chappa's 'all' set of patches for pine as on 2003-09-15. i am not sure if the
'all' set includes all of the patches that were hand picked by raker and
included with the ebuilds up until now. so please test!
