Re: KSR[T] Advisory #6: deliver

KSR's proposed patch to Deliver has a bug:

According to KSR[T]:
+  char token[BUFSIZ];  /* Probably paranoid. */

+         while (isascii(*lexptr) && isalpha(*lexptr) && i < BUFSIZ)
            token[i++] = *lexptr++;
          token[i] = '\0';

Buffer overrun is possible here.

I suggest anyone who uses Deliver just get the current tarball:
