"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.06 (SP), has postfix packages installed that are affected by
multiple vulnerabilities:

  - The SMTP server in Postfix before 2.5.13, 2.6.x before 2.6.10, 2.7.x before 2.7.4, and 2.8.x before 2.8.3,
    when certain Cyrus SASL authentication methods are enabled, does not create a new server handle after
    client authentication fails, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory
    corruption and daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via an invalid AUTH command with one
    method followed by an AUTH command with a different method. (CVE-2011-1720)

  - Postfix before 2.3.15, 2.4 before 2.4.8, 2.5 before 2.5.4, and 2.6 before 2.6-20080814, when the operating
    system supports hard links to symlinks, allows local users to append e-mail messages to a file to which a
    root-owned symlink points, by creating a hard link to this symlink and then sending a message. NOTE: this
    can be leveraged to gain privileges if there is a symlink to an init script. (CVE-2008-2936)

  - Postfix 2.5 before 2.5.4 and 2.6 before 2.6-20080814 delivers to a mailbox file even when this file is not
    owned by the recipient, which allows local users to read e-mail messages by creating a mailbox file
    corresponding to another user's account name. (CVE-2008-2937)

  - Postfix 2.4 before 2.4.9, 2.5 before 2.5.5, and 2.6 before 2.6-20080902, when used with the Linux 2.6
    kernel, leaks epoll file descriptors during execution of non-Postfix commands, which allows local users
    to cause a denial of service (application slowdown or exit) via a crafted command, as demonstrated by a
    command in a .forward file. (CVE-2008-3889)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
