Package: ssmtp
Version: ssmtp sends on invalid inputs parts of its own config file
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
when running
$ ssmtp root
and then typing
Test[RETURN]
[Ctrl-D]
ssmtp sends a mail with parts of its own configuration and possibly even
other files. The result looks like this:
---
Test
TP aliases
#
# Format: local_account:outgoing_address:mailhub
#
# Example: root:[email protected]:mailhub.your.domain[:port]
# where [:port] is an optional port number that defaults to 25.
is required no
# MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com
mailhub=mail
# Where will the mail seem to come from?
rewriteDomain=vms.laxu.de
# The full hostname
hostname=seafile.vms.laxu.de
# Are users allowed to set their own From: address?
# YES - Allow the user to specify their own From: address
# NO - Use the system generated From: address
FromLineOverride=NO

it does not happen, when the input is terminated with a "." on a single
line before sending Ctrl-D.
it looks like it could even be a overflow bug. It didn't crash for me,
through.
