Description Joel Koglin 2010-04-03 19:54:31 UTC 
If you configure ssmtp with a password like Secure#Password! it will segfault when trying to send mail.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge ssmtp
2. edit /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf
3. set AuthPass=Secure#Password!
4. configure the rest of ssmtp to be able to send mail somewhere
5. run /usr/sbin/ssmtp youremail@mail.com
6. type your message followed by <ENTER> <CTRL+D>

Actual Results:  
segfault
dmesg:
sendmail[14145]: segfault at 0 ip 0804bd62 sp bfd8d610 error 4 in ssmtp[8048000+6000]


Expected Results:  
mail to be delivered without segfault

Comment 1 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2010-04-03 23:23:43 UTC 
Similar but not identical to bug 258018
Comment 2 selckin 2010-04-18 15:54:17 UTC 
not fixed in 2.64 either, does it have an upstream project page anywhere?
Comment 3 kfm 2010-12-04 12:38:36 UTC 
Re Comment 2 - the upstream maintainer is anibal@debian.org: http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/ssmtp.html

I've commented on an upstream bug (referenced in the URL field here) with relevant information from both bugs 258018 and 313017.
Comment 4 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-01-19 13:51:16 UTC 
Please try with version 2.64 and re-open if it's still a problem.
