<background>
<p>
maildrop is the mail filter/mail delivery agent that is used by the
Courier Mail Server.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
Christoph Anton Mitterer reported that maildrop does not properly drop
its privileges when run as root.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
A local attacker could create a specially crafted .mailfilter file,
possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary commands with the "root"
group privileges. NOTE: Successful exploitation requires that maildrop
is run as root with the -d option.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All maildrop users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-filter/maildrop-2.4.2"</code>
</resolution>
