I just noticed that libesmtp does not appear to handle NULL-byte CNs, as
seen with the original browser-based issue:

Use CVE-2010-1192

Related to this are failures in wildcard handling:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=311191

Use CVE-2010-1194

I'm guessing that upstream 1.0.4 and earlier are affected by both problems.
