Re: [SECURITY] [DSA 076-1] New most packages available
Aside from the fact that it's a pretty big IF; I'm not aware of too many
mail clients that use pagers. mutt uses vi, pine uses pico, X based MUAs
certainly don't use most.. perhaps mail(x) or something similar use
it, but that's not all too common. Certainly not enough, IMO, to classify
this as a remote exploit.
