Unless I'm misunderstanding your report, the problem is in the formail

clarified in the title of the vuln, perhaps as "heap overflow in
procmail's formail utility" rather than "heap overflow in procmail".

I'm not sure what "title" you mean, are you referring to my email subject?
If you are, I think "<problem> in <package>" is pretty reasonable, but
perhaps this is subjective (hah!).
