Description Moritz Muehlenhoff univentionstaff 2014-12-17 09:04:37 CET 
An undocumented feature in mailx (the implementation of the mail command) allows the execution of arbitrary commands if the email address is obtained from a remote source (CVE-2014-7844)
Comment 1 Stefan Gohmann univentionstaff 2016-05-19 10:01:53 CEST 
I think it was fixed upstream and we can import the package:

* There are no additional known vulnerabilities
* Package is updatable and sending mail via /usr/sbin/mail (bsd-mailx) works
* Advisory Ok
