Brendan Boerner reported: [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ssmtp/+bug/282424 a deficiency in the way ssmtp removed trailing '\n' sequence by processing lines beginning with a leading dot. A local user, could send a specially-crafted e-mail message via ssmtp send-only sendmail emulator, leading to ssmtp executable denial of service (exit with: ssmtp: standardise() -- Buffer overflow). Different vulnerability than CVE-2008-3962.
