Vulnerability Insight:
Two bugs have been discovered in qpopper, an enhanced Post Office

project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2005-1151

provided by a normal user privileges weren't dropped, which could
lead to the overwriting or creation of arbitrary files as root.

creating group- or world-writable files.

version 4.0.5-4sarge1.
