# qmail-1.03.qmtpd-netstring.patch
#
# This patch corrects a programming error in
# the getlen() and main() routines of qmail-qmtpd.c.
#
# These routines read input length in netstring format.
# But the original code does not test for numeric validity
# in the length field of the netstring.
#
# As a consquence, it is possible for an attacker to design
# input to create a buffer overflow.
#
# This patch modifies the original to perform validity
# checking when reading the length field of the netstring.
#
