The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'masqmail' package(s) announced via the DSA-848-1 advisory. Jens Steube discovered two vulnerabilities in masqmail, a mailer for hosts without permanent internet connection. The vulnerabilities include arbitrary command execution and privilege relinquishment issues

CAN-2005-2662

When sending failed mail messages, the address is not sanitised, which allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary commands as the mail user.

CAN-2005-2663

When opening the log file, masqmail does not relinquish privileges, which allows a local attacker to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.

For the old stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 0.1.16-2.2.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 0.2.20-1sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 0.2.20-1sarge1.

We recommend that you upgrade your masqmail package.");
