Addressing buffer overflow risks within procmail to bolster security in Fedora 27 environments
This is security update fixing possible buffer overflow in loadbuf function.

Summary

Procmail can be used to create mail-servers, mailing lists, sort your

incoming mail into separate folders/files (real convenient when subscribing

to one or more mailing lists or for prioritising your mail), preprocess

your mail, start any programs upon mail arrival (e.g. to generate different

chimes on your workstation for different types of mail) or selectively

forward certain incoming mail automatically to someone.

This is security update fixing possible buffer overflow in loadbuf function.
