>Description:
- Update to 0.92.8

This update fixes among many other tiny bugs one security bug that allows a
remote attacker to cause a denial of service in bogofilter, by crashing it;
a malformatted (non-conformant) RFC-2047 encoded word triggers an attempt to
write a terminating NUL byte past the end of a buffer or (more commonly) into
the zero-page, which causes a segfault.

Depending on the exact MTA/MDA configuration on the receiving machine, this can
cause a denial of service of the mail system.

Please consider committing this on the RELENG_5_3 branch of the ports tree, too.

The original problem was reported against Debian Linux's package by
Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho, see http://bugs.debian.org/275373, and forwarded by
Clint Adams.

A vuxml.xml entry will be sent in a separate mail so it can contain this PR's
serial number.
