Jens Steube discovered that Qpopper doesn't drop privileges to
|
|
process local files from normal users (CAN-2005-1151). The upstream
|
|
developers discovered that Qpopper can be forced to create group or
|
|
world writeable files (CAN-2005-1152).

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A malicious local attacker could exploit Qpopper to overwrite
|
|
arbitrary files as root or create new files which are group or world
|
|
writeable.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.

</p>

</workaround>

|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Qpopper users should upgrade to the latest available version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-mail/qpopper-4.0.5-r3"</code>
