Description Moritz Muehlenhoff

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)

I think it was fixed upstream and we can import the package:

* Imported version is the latest in squeeze-lts
* There are no additional known vulnerabilities
* Package is updatable and sending mail via /usr/sbin/mail (bsd-mailx) works
* Advisory Ok
