"A flaw was found in the way mailx handled the parsing of email
addresses. A syntactically valid email address could allow a local
attacker to cause mailx to execute arbitrary shell commands through
shell meta-characters and the direct command execution functionality.
(CVE-2004-2771, CVE-2014-7844)

Note: Applications using mailx to send email to addresses obtained
from untrusted sources will still remain vulnerable to other attacks
if they accept email addresses which start with '-' (so that they can
be confused with mailx options). To counteract this issue, this update
also introduces the '--' option, which will treat the remaining
command line arguments as email addresses."
