<p>
Qpopper is a widely used server for the POP3 protocol.

<description>
<p>
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).
</p>
</description>
<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 &quot;&gt;=net-mail/qpopper-4.0.5-r3&quot;</code>
</resolution>
