and TLS.
A flaw was found in the way Postfix dereferences symbolic links. If a local
user has write access to a mail spool directory with no root mailbox, it
may be possible for them to append arbitrary data to files that root has
write permission to. (CVE-2008-2936)
Red Hat would like to thank Sebastian Krahmer for responsibly disclosing
this issue.
All users of postfix should upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch that resolves this issue.";
