Re: Occasional Empty fields in 'From' and 'Subject' after migrating to new server

I noticed on the page:

http://squirrelmail.org/wiki/PatchingSquirrelMail

That if I'm using RPM, I should update via RPM.  Does that suggestion extend to any package manager, such as apt in my case as I am running an OS (Ubuntu) that is a variant of Debian?  

Also, the current installed version is identified by apt as being:

squirrelmail/xenial,xenial,now 2:1.4.23~svn20120406-2ubuntu1

Which postdates the most recent issue (CVE-2012-0323) in the patch by a couple weeks.  That makes me question the efficacy of the patch.  Is it certain that this patch can in fact correct this issue, even though my installation version is newer?

Thanks!
