Description: Debian has issued an update for maildrop. This fixes a security issue, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges. The security issue is caused due to lockmail being installed with the setgid flag and not dropping this group permission before executing an external command. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary commands with privileges of the "mail" group. Solution: Apply updated packages. -- Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 alias sarge -- Source archives: http://security.debian.org/pool/updat...maildrop/maildrop_1.5.3-1.1sarge1.dsc Size/MD5 checksum: 596 e76d7a43dde5122dbabd21b994a32f2f http://security.debian.org/pool/updat...drop/maildrop_1.5.3-1.1sarge1.diff.gz Size/MD5 checksum: 22819 3ec43b768cfb2c8b006c5c4a381afc3b http://security.debian.org/pool/updat...m/maildrop/maildrop_1.5.3.orig.tar.gz Size/MD5 checksum: 1009174 5c7727ddff120a339fb9658d6c553462 Alpha architecture: http://security.debian.org/pool/updat...op/maildrop_1.5.3-1.1sarge1_alpha.deb Size/MD5 checksum: 363330 5aa987d64b2d28961fb2b1e65b865ea3 AMD64 architecture: http://security.debian.org/pool/updat...op/maildrop_1.5.3-1.1sarge1_amd64.deb Size/MD5 checksum: 329170 29e4ae76fce86fa5c7b17be3fc06b07f ARM architecture: http://security.debian.org/pool/updat...drop/maildrop_1.5.3-1.1sarge1_arm.deb Size/MD5 checksum: 305936 c99c08496e5aa6f4e48f3cead6cd1041 Intel IA-32 architecture: http://security.debian.org/pool/updat...rop/maildrop_1.5.3-1.1sarge1_i386.deb Size/MD5 checksum: 315316 45a21b635d79fd783a6a4b2ea8eeb0fb Intel IA-64 architecture: http://security.debian.org/pool/updat...rop/maildrop_1.5.3-1.1sarge1_ia64.deb Size/MD5 checksum: 405646 c2be65e5af7085deafd4c332d624f9b5 HP Precision architecture: http://security.debian.org/pool/updat...rop/maildrop_1.5.3-1.1sarge1_hppa.deb Size/MD5 checksum: 348108 400ddf8ee844b685e683893de2bc7186 Motorola 680x0 architecture: http://security.debian.org/pool/updat...rop/maildrop_1.5.3-1.1sarge1_m68k.deb Size/MD5 checksum: 294932 72e7e31ec6408f5a00012141718666d6 Big endian MIPS architecture: http://security.debian.org/pool/updat...rop/maildrop_1.5.3-1.1sarge1_mips.deb Size/MD5 checksum: 348182 f66f3863c068e3f3897ee531f242f4ea Little endian MIPS architecture: http://security.debian.org/pool/updat...p/maildrop_1.5.3-1.1sarge1_mipsel.deb Size/MD5 checksum: 348002 6b8b8047154a4aae6ae4a08a26c328a4 PowerPC architecture: http://security.debian.org/pool/updat.../maildrop_1.5.3-1.1sarge1_powerpc.deb Size/MD5 checksum: 326702 0b5a94cede67887ce474ca37cd48da54 IBM S/390 architecture: http://security.debian.org/pool/updat...rop/maildrop_1.5.3-1.1sarge1_s390.deb Size/MD5 checksum: 321620 d7c3b3acc5445e5ca53cf9986a837d81 Sun Sparc architecture: http://security.debian.org/pool/updat...op/maildrop_1.5.3-1.1sarge1_sparc.deb Size/MD5 checksum: 307994 0ca7e53ae93ba472527eedda1d92490f -- Debian GNU/Linux unstable alias sid -- Fixed in version 1.5.3-2.
