Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.55612
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:168 (masqmail)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to masqmail
announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:168.

Jens Steube discovered two vulnerabilities in masqmail:

When sending failed mail messages, the address was not properly
sanitized which could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary
commands as the mail user (CVE-2005-2662).

When opening the log file, masqmail did not relinquish privileges,
which could allow a local attacker to overwrite arbitrary files via a
symlink attack (CVE-2005-2663).

The updated packages have been patched to address these issues.

Affected versions: Multi Network Firewall 2.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
