Package: libmime-lite-perl
Version: 3.01-5
Severity: normal


sendmail command and params are not constructed in a taint-safe fashion.
Arguments to send_by_sendmail() are used/filled in rather than having
separate vars set to defaults or untainted args.

$ENV{PATH} is not untainted either, but that can be argued to be the
caller's responsibility
