Description

As a follow-up to vulnerability reported in MFSA 2008-12 Mozilla has checked similar constructs in the rest of the MIME handling code. Although no further buffer overflows were found we changed several function calls to use safer versions of the string routines that will be more robust in the face of future code changes.
