Untrusted values in the functions die() and log_event() were passed to printf-like functions as format strings.

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem will be fixed in version 2.50.6.1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you update your ssmtp package.");
