Security database references:

In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2005-1151, CVE-2005-1152.

More information:

This advisory does only cover updated packages for Debian 3.0 alias woody. For reference below is the original advisory text:

Two bugs have been discovered in qpopper, an enhanced Post Office Protocol (POP3) server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

• CAN-2005-1151

  Jens Steube discovered that while processing local files owned or provided by a normal user privileges weren't dropped, which could lead to the overwriting or creation of arbitrary files as root.

• CAN-2005-1152

  The upstream developers noticed that qpopper could be tricked to creating group- or world-writable files.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 4.0.4-2.woody.5.

For the testing distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 4.0.5-4sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed in version 4.0.5-4sarge1.

We recommend that you upgrade your qpopper package.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (woody)
