Masqmail Security Update for Debian
Posted by philipp on: 11/13/2002 10:56 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
A updated masqmail package is now available for Debian GNU/Linux
A set of buffer overflows have been discovered in masqmail, a mail transport agent for hosts without permanent internet connection. In addition to this privileges were dropped only after reading a user supplied configuration file. Together this could be exploited to gain unauthorized root access to the machine on which masqmail is installed.
These problems have been fixed in version 0.1.16-2.1 for the current stable distribution (woody) and in version 0.2.15-1 for the unstable distribution (sid). The old stable distribution (potato) is not affected since it doesn't contain a masqmail package.
