Package: ruby-actionmailer-3.2
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole

Hi,

a vulnerability was reported against actionmailer, see
http://marc.info/?l=oss-security&m=138194461411192&w=2 for more info.

It's unclear from that mail if it's really only a DoS, since “format
string” might be worse than that, so it's not clear if it'll need a DSA
or not.

Regards,
