balsa stable update for CVE-2007-5007

[Nico Golde]

Hi,
the following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was
published for balsa some time ago.

CVE-2007-5007[0]:
| Stack-based buffer overflow in the ir_fetch_seq function in balsa
| before 2.3.20 might allow remote IMAP servers to execute arbitrary
| code via a long response to a FETCH command.

Unfortunately the vulnerability described above is not important enough
to get it fixed via regular security update in Debian stable. It does
not warrant a DSA.

However it would be nice if this could get fixed via a regular point update[1].
Please contact the release team for this.

This is an automatically generated mail, in case you are already working on an
upgrade this is of course pointless.

You can find a patch on:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=95088&action=view
