  <affected>
    <package name="net-mail/qmailadmin" auto="yes" arch="*">

    managing a qmail system with virtual domains.

  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    qmailAdmin fails to properly handle the "PATH_INFO" variable in
    qmailadmin.c. The PATH_INFO is a standard CGI environment variable
    filled with user supplied data.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending
    qmailAdmin a maliciously crafted URL that could lead to the execution
    of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running qmailAdmin.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All qmailAdmin users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-mail/qmailadmin-1.2.10&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
