Fix CVE(s): CVE-2026-66140, CVE-2026-66141
* SECURITY UPDATE: directory traversal via named-queue arguments - debian/patches/CVE-2026-66140.patch: add validate_queue_name() and apply it to the -MCG and -q[f][f][l]G command-line queue names, rejecting names containing '/', longer than 32 characters, or colliding with the reserved spool subdirectories; restrict -MC and all -MCx arguments to admin users. - CVE-2026-66140 * SECURITY UPDATE: .forward privilege escalation under force_command - debian/patches/CVE-2026-66141.patch: stop expanding addr->local_part in a pipe transport under force_command, so a command taken from a user's .forward file is only dequoted and split into argv, never evaluated with the transport's privileges. - CVE-2026-66141
