Package: mimedecode
Version: 1.9-4
Severity: normal

Hi,
I don''t know if this has a security impact, but I guess it could since
emails are come by their very nature from the network.
mimedecode segfaults on invalid input:
------------------------------------------------------------
$ echo -n ''('' |mimedecode
Segmentation fault
------------------------------------------------------------
