+ <title>Qpopper: Multiple Vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Qpopper contains two vulnerabilities allowing an attacker to overwrite
+ arbitrary files and create files with insecure permissions.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Qpopper is a widely used server for the POP3 protocol.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Jens Steube discovered that Qpopper doesn't drop privileges to
+ process local files from normal users (CAN-2005-1151). The upstream
+ developers discovered that Qpopper can be forced to create group or
+ world writeable files (CAN-2005-1152).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A malicious local attacker could exploit Qpopper to overwrite
+ arbitrary files as root or create new files which are group or world
+ writeable.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Qpopper users should upgrade to the latest available version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-mail/qpopper-4.0.5-r3"</code>
