  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.
