The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'postfix' package(s) announced via the DSA-2233-1 advisory. The remote version of Postfix is affected by several vulnerabilities. A man-in-the-middle attacker can insert commands into encrypted SMTP sessions by sending a cleartext command that is processed after TLS is in place. Additional vulnerabilities allow local users to conduct symlink attacks and malicious clients to crash the smtpd server process with crafted SASL authentication requests

  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Postfix, a mail transfer agent. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CVE-2009-2939

The postinst script grants the postfix user write access to /var/spool/postfix/pid, which might allow local users to conduct symlink attacks that overwrite arbitrary files.

CVE-2011-0411

The STARTTLS implementation does not properly restrict I/O buffering, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to insert commands into encrypted SMTP sessions by sending a cleartext command that is processed after TLS is in place.

CVE-2011-1720

A heap-based read-only buffer overflow allows malicious clients to crash the smtpd server process using a crafted SASL authentication request.

For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 2.5.5-1.1+lenny1.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 2.7.1-1+squeeze1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 2.8.0-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your postfix packages.");
