Security fixy,
Mpack:
======
A remote user may be able to cause an e-mail program that uses mpack/munpack
to decode MIME-based binary files to crash or to execute arbitrary code.
A remote user may also be able to create certain files on the system.
Flex:
=====
---> flextest.lex <---
BOGUS aaa[insert 3000 more a's here]aaa
%%
a { /* example */ }
---> end <---
causes a segfault:
$ flex flextest.lex
Segmentation fault
This could be a potential security issue, since nmdef is an automatic
variable defined inside a function, and hence lands up on the stack.
