Synopsis
Moderate: postfix security update
Type/Severity
Security Advisory: Moderate
Topic
Updated postfix packages that fix a security issue are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, and 5.
This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
Description
Postfix is a Mail Transport Agent (MTA), supporting LDAP, SMTP AUTH (SASL),
and TLS.
A flaw was found in the way Postfix dereferences symbolic links. If a local
user has write access to a mail spool directory with no root mailbox, it
may be possible for them to append arbitrary data to files that root has
write permission to. (CVE-2008-2936)
Red Hat would like to thank Sebastian Krahmer for responsibly disclosing
this issue.
All users of postfix should upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch that resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
