I think I see the relevant commit in SVN;  it might have been fixed but
I don't think there was an actual release containing that fix until now.

And it's not stated very clearly in the release announcement;  it would
really make things easier for package maintainers, QA and security teams
(not just Debian but other distros too) if the release had a more
detailed changelog ideally mentioning the CVE ID of that DoS vulnerability.

Anyway, thanks a lot for passing along the info you got from upstream.

If nobody else gets around to it I could *maybe* try to package the new
upstream version myself;  I could use some practice at this, and I would
certainly use it personally.

Follow the link through to src:amsn and it's there (filed against the
source package, which is probably correct since your report was about
build dependencies).
