DSA-848-1 masqmail Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment 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: When sending failed mail messages, the address is not sanitised, which permits a local attacker to execute arbitrary commands as the mail user. When opening the log file, masqmail does not relinquish rights, which permits 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.
