Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200505-17 (Qpopper: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

Jens Steube discovered that Qpopper doesn't drop privileges to     process local files from normal users (CAN-2005-1151). The upstream     developers discovered that Qpopper can be forced to create group or     world writeable files (CAN-2005-1152).

Impact :

A malicious local attacker could exploit Qpopper to overwrite     arbitrary files as root or create new files which are group or world     writeable.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
