Subject: Pine v/s *BSD

A few months ago, there was a discussion here about one of the BSDs
rejecting Pine due to security vulnerabilities from strcpy(?).

Which BSD was it? Was the vulnerability real? If so, has it been fixed?

Where's the list archive?

That one's easy.  Here's the .sig that the list processor attaches to all

OpenBSD, as I recall, will not use it, due to many strcpy() calls.

That's weird. I don't seem to be getting it as part of the list procesor
output. I mean, the one you quoted was there. The one that the listproc
attaches wasn't there. It's not on any other message, either.

But I thought you did the backups!

I do not receive any such list footer either.  Above is the
entire contents of the message I received.  ie: No footer.

It only shows up on new posts, not on replies.  Check to see if you get it
then...
