Debian Security Advisory DSA-1981-2 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Steffen Joeris
January 28, 2010 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : maildrop
Vulnerability : privilege escalation
Problem type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id : CVE-2010-0301
Debian Bug : 564601
The latest DSA for maildrop introduced two regressions. The maildrop
program stopped working when invoked as a non-root user, such as with
postfix. Also, the lenny version dropped a dependency on the
courier-authlib package.
For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.0.4-3+lenny3.
For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.0.2-11+etch2.
For the testing distribution (squeeze) this problem will be fixed soon.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.2.0-3.1.
For reference, the original advisory text is below.
Christoph Anton Mitterer discovered that maildrop, a mail delivery agent
with filtering abilities, is prone to a privilege escalation issue that
grants a user root group privileges.
We recommend that you upgrade your maildrop packages.
