Package: postfix
Version: 2.1.5-9
Severity: important

The huge patch applied to the Postfix 2.1.5 original sources for the Sarge
package postfix_2.1.5-9 has a bug in an IPv6 error message. Please open the
file postfix_2.1.5-9.diff.gz and search for the string "socket to".

You will find the lines
++      vstring_sprintf(why, "socket to %s[%s]: %m",
++                        addr->name, hbuf);
where the 'hbuf' is used in this printf() call. The hbuf is not initialized
before. ("%m" is replaced by the error message from the last error in the 
errno variable, so there is no need for a third parameter.)

BTW: APT prefers stable (sarge) here but reportbug thinks its testing.
