- From Debian Security Advisory DSA 197-1 : |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
A problem in the Courier sqwebmail package, a CGI program to grant |
| 18 |
authenticated access to local mailboxes, has been discovered. The |
| 19 |
program did not drop permissions fast enough upon startup under |
| 20 |
certain circumstances so a local shell user can execute the sqwebmail |
| 21 |
binary and manage to read an arbitrary file on the local filesystem. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
SOLUTION |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running |
| 26 |
net-mail/courier-0.40.0.20021026 and earlier update their systems as |
| 27 |
follows: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
emerge rsync |
| 30 |
emerge courier |
| 31 |
emerge clean |
| 32 |
