Package: bsd-mailx Version: 8.1.2-0.20111106cvs-1+deb7u1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Having just updated to DSA-3104-1, it seems that command execution can still be obtained with the -I option and ~! expansion e.g. perl -e 'print "hello\n~!ls>file\nbye\n"' | mailx recip1 -I recip2 and I wonder whether this is something to worry about. I apologize if my worries are unwarranted and I made useless noise.
