Package: security-tracker
Severity: normal

Hello!

DSA-3104-1 [1] states, in part:

|  An older security vulnerability, CVE-2004-2771, had already
|  been addressed in the Debian's bsd-mailx package.

However, the tracker [2] seems to disagree, as it claims that
all versions of bsd-mailx in Debian are currently vulnerable...
I think the problem is an extra epoch in the (unstable) fixed
version for bsd-mailx: this time the epoch is in the tracker data,
but not in the actual package versions (contrary to the usual
missing epoch issues that I frequently spot!).

Please fix the tracker data.
Thanks for your time!

That's right. The bug has been fixed in mailx 1:8.1.2-0.20040524cvs-2
but when the source package has been renamed to bsd-mailx, the epoch has
been dropped so we should drop it too in the fixed version in the CVE
tracker.

Fix committed.

Cheers,
