      7 Greetings,
      8 
      9 Security advisory (#SBU1) for Sup
     10 
     11 We have been notified of an potential exploit in the somewhat careless
     12 way Sup treats attachment metadata in received e-mails. The issues
     13 should now be fixed and I have released Sup 0.13.2.1 and 0.14.1.1 which
     14 incorporates these fixes. Please upgrade immediately and also ensure
     15 that your mime-decode or mime-view hooks are secure [0], [1].
     16 
     17 This is specifically related to using quotes (',") around filename or
     18 content_type which is already escaped using Ruby Shellwords.escape -
     19 this means that the string (content_type, filename) is intended to be
     20 used _without_ any further quotes. Please make sure that if you use
     21 .mailcap (non OSX systems), you do not quote the string.
     22

     24 discovered and suggested fixes for these issues.
