+Fix CVE-2014-9116. Copied from Debian:
+
+This patch solves the issue raised by CVE-2014-9116 in bug 771125.
+
+We correctly redefine what are the whitespace characters as per RFC5322; by
+doing so we prevent mutt_substrdup from being used in a way that could lead to
+a segfault.
+
+The lib.c part was written by Antonio Radici <antonio@debian.org> to prevent
+crashes due to this kind of bugs from happening again.
+
+The wheezy version of this patch is slightly different, therefore this patch
+has -jessie prefixed in its name.
+
+The sendlib.c part was provided by Salvatore Bonaccorso and it is the same as
+the upstream patch reported here:
+http://dev.mutt.org/trac/attachment/ticket/3716/ticket-3716-stable.patch
