Fixed buffer overflow.
>SECURITY ADVISORY 13th February 2001
>----------------------------------------------------------------------
>Program: analog
>Versions: all versions except 4.16 and 4.90beta3
>Operating systems: all
>----------------------------------------------------------------------
>There is a buffer overflow bug in all versions of analog released
>prior to today. A malicious user could use an ALIAS command to
>construct very long strings which were not checked for length.
>
>This bug is particularly dangerous if the form interface (which allows
>unknown users to run the program via a CGI script) has been installed.
>
>This bug was discovered by the program author, and there is no known
>exploit. However, users are advised to upgrade to one of the two safe
>versions immediately, especially if they have installed the form
>interface. The URL is http://www.analog.cx/

>I apologise for the inconvenience.

* pull every dependency under the same rule, using specialized fragments.
* re-check after the dependency is expanded, unless earlyexit is true.
* explicitly recognize /nonexistent as a specific way to have always
triggered dependencies, use it to handle DEPENDS in a uniform way.
* parse dependencies fully. Note that we know have a pkg variable that will
be used.
Thanks to naddy@ for useful tweaks.
This is probably not quite perfect yet, stuff may break. Other stuff that
remain to be done:
- handle library dependencies better, so that lib.10 will match only
lib.10.x and not lib.100.
- handle default FLAVORS correctly. This involves not
passing FLAVOR='', but rearranging ${MAKE} ${_DEPEND_THRU} to remove
FLAVOR from the environment and from MAKEFLAGS (yucky).

called ssfe.

This release fixes a bug in pid creation. If a user specified -P /dirname
instead of -P /dirname/ stunnel would assume that it's a file, delete it and
create a new one. Now stunnel makes sure if it's really a file.
Mailcrypt allows seamless integration of cryptography and internet
usage. It can be used to sign and encrypt mail, to sign usenet
articles, and to verify/decrypt mail and articles.
