The Debian courier-authlib package before 0.71.1-2 for Courier Authentication Library creates a /run/courier/authdaemon directory with weak permissions, allowing an attacker to read user information.
This may include a cleartext password in some configurations. In general, it includes the user’s existence, uid and gids, home and/or Maildir directory, quota, and some type of password information (such as a hash).
For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 0.66.4-9+deb9u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your courier-authlib packages.
For the detailed security status of courier-authlib please refer to its security tracker page at:
