Re: [Full-disclosure] Kmail <= 1.9.1 (latest) DOS

[nnp <version5@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thats odd, I initially assumed its a resources problem on your pc,
becuase I havent had such difficulties. It crashes kMail and thats
about it.

Have you verified this on any other ubuntu systems besides your own?

Also, I've narrowed down the fuzz string a bit more so I'll post that
tomorrow. Its much smaller in size so that should rule out any
resource issues.

Later,
