Debian: New masqmail packages fix several vulnerabilities
Summary
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------Debian Security Advisory DSA 848-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze October 8th, 2005 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - --------------------------------------------------------------------------Package : masqmail Vulnerability : several Problem type : local Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CAN-2005-2662 CAN-2005-2663 Jens Steube discovered two vulnerabilities in masqmail, a mailer for hosts without permanent internet connection. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CAN-2005-2662 When sending failed mail messages, the address is not sanitised, which allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary commands as the mail user. CAN-2005-2663 When opening the log file, masqmail does not relinquish privileges, which allows a local attacker to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack. For the old stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 0.1.16-2.2. For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 0.2.20-1sarge1. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 0.2.20-1sarge1. We recommend that you upgrade your masqmail package.
