Debian: DSA 222-2 Critical: Mhonarc Remote Vulnerability

Earl Hood, author of mhonarc, a mail to HTML converter, discovered a
cross site scripting vulnerability in this package. A specially
crafted HTML mail message can introduce foreign scripting content in
archives, by-passing MHonArc's HTML script filtering.
