Debian: New postfix packages fix installability problem on i386
Summary
Note that only specific configurations are vulnerable; the default
Debian installation is not affected. Only a configuration meeting
the following requirements is vulnerable:
* The mail delivery style is mailbox, with the Postfix built-in
local(8) or virtual(8) delivery agents.
* The mail spool directory (/var/spool/mail) is user-writeable.
* The user can create hardlinks pointing to root-owned symlinks
located in other directories.
For a detailed treating of the issue, please refer to the upstream
author's announcement:
For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.3.8-2+etch1.
For the testing distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.5.2-2lenny1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed
in version 2.5.4-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your postfix package.
