<description>

<p>
|
|
Christoph Anton Mitterer reported that maildrop does not properly drop
|
|
its privileges when run as root.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A local attacker could create a specially crafted .mailfilter file,
|
|
possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary commands with the "root"
|
|
group privileges. NOTE: Successful exploitation requires that maildrop
|
|
is run as root with the -d option.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All maildrop users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-filter/maildrop-2.4.2"</code>
|
