MIMEDefang 2.80 and earlier creates a PID file after dropping privileges to
a non-root account, which might allow local users to kill arbitrary
processes by leveraging access to this non-root account for PID file
modification before a root script executes a “kill cat /pathname”
command, as demonstrated by the init-script.in and mimedefang-init.in
scripts.
