It was discovered that dkim-milter, an implementation of the DomainKeys Identified Mail protocol, may crash during DKIM verification if it
encounters a specially-crafted or revoked public key record in DNS.
The old stable distribution (etch) does not contain dkim-milter packages.
For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.6.0.dfsg-1+lenny1.
