CVE-2009-3942 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-3942):
  Martin Lambers msmtp before 1.4.19, when OpenSSL is used, does not
  properly handle a '\0' character in a domain name in the (1)
  subject's Common Name or (2) Subject Alternative Name field of an
  X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof
  arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a
  legitimate Certification Authority, a related issue to CVE-2009-2408.

I'm preparing a non-maintainer commit to .19.
Removing bug 301036 as dependency to track the .20 bump in there.
