If getmail is used as root to deliver to user owned files or directories, it can be made to overwrite system files. More details about this issue may be found in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CAN-2004-880 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CAN-2004-881 Here are the details from the Slackware 10.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/getmail-4.2.0-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to getmaii-4.2.0. Earlier versions contained a local security flaw when used in an insecure fashion (surprise, running something as root that writes to user-controlled files or directories could allow the old symlink attack to clobber system files! :-) From the getmail CHANGELOG: This vulnerability is not exploitable if the administrator does not deliver mail to the maildirs/mbox files of untrusted local users, or if getmail is configured to use an external unprivileged MDA. This vulnerability is not remotely exploitable. Most users would not use getmail in such as way as to be vulnerable to this flaw, but if your site does this package closes the hole. I'd also recommend not using getmail like this. Either run it as the user that owns the target mailbox, or deliver through an external MDA.

Root compromise possible by overwriting critical system files.. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ______________________________________________________________________________ SuSE Security Announcement Package: tnef < 0-124 Date: Mon Jul 10 19:19:16 CEST 2000 Affected SuSE versions: 6.3-6.4 Vulnerability Type: remote compromise SuSE default package: no Other affected systems: all unix systems using this package ______________________________________________________________________________ A security hole was discovered in the package mentioned above. Please update it as soon as possible or disable the service if you are using this software on your SuSE Linux installation(s). Other Linux distributions or operating systems might be affected as well, please contact your vendor for information about this issue. Please note that we provide this information on an "as-is" basis only. There is no warranty whatsoever and no liability for any direct, indirect or incidental damage arising from this information or the installation of the update package. _____________________________________________________________________________ 1. Problem Description Tnef extracts eMails compressed with MS-Outlook. The compressed file includes the path name to which the decompressed data should be written. 2. Impact By specifing a path name like /etc/passwd and sending a compressed mail to root an adversary could gain remote root access to a system by overwriting the local password database. The same could happen if a mail virus scanner, like AMaVIS, process' a malicious mail. 3. Solution Update the package from our FTP server. It's also possible to use the '-x' option of tnef to specify the outputfile. ______________________________________________________________________________ Please verify these md5 checksums of the updates before installing: AXP: cc4983da1084c911998ddcc589050ec2 /6.3/ap1/tnef-0-124.alpha.rpm ae9b2d0e3231ee9ce35ee2fe0bd7788d /6.3/zq1/tnef-0-124.src.rpm 451485d86daa2b45ae897dc88bf8a61b /6.4/ap1/tnef-0-124.alpha.rpm 4bd689ba7abb7235b84570a90b3875d8 /6.4/zq1/tnef-0-124.src.rpm i386: 5909688f8568eb1f14591c1428235777 /6.3/ap1/tnef-0-124.i386.rpm 5c02ff06d98030541afb10c178a206f3 /6.3/zq1/tnef-0-124.src.rpm 58fa8e976df90aa09c30bf8fd5f6b2b5 1a99d0cd8315ae3a1990781b7977c4c6 /6.4/zq1/tnef-0-124.src.rpm PPC: 3be0b423e678923f27c42f8c59c09ab4 5f7f8c3c025c2f114aa115532e250723 b37d6374a7b0147dbd6bf9889ec68367 695fcd009a345638f049200dc0d6279d ______________________________________________________________________________ You can find updates on our ftp-Server: for Intel processors for Alpha processors or try the following web pages for a list of mirrors: SUSE – Open-Source-Lösungen für Enterprise Server und Cloud | SUSE Our webpage for patches: SUSE – Open-Source-Lösungen für Enterprise Server und Cloud | SUSE Our webpage for security announcements: SUSE – Open-Source-Lösungen für Enterprise Server und Cloud | SUSE If you want to report vulnerabilities, please contact
