Bugtraq: 3 SMAIL BUGS

[aleph1 () dfw net (Aleph One)]

Ok for all of you asking which are the 3
here is the count down:

Number 3 - The SMTP DEBUG problem. Anyone can
        telnet to your SMTP port and read any
        file on the system. Fixed by adding
        -smtp_debug in your smail config file.

Number 2 - The .forward problem. Another
        configuration problem. Smail does not
        check file atributes when delivering mail
        to a file pointed to by a .forward. Fixed
        by adding the check_path attribute to the
        forward file director.

and

Number 1 - Debug file bug. Smail create or append to
        anyfile using the debug options!

There. What I said will fix #1 and #2. Several different
        patches have been posted for #3 on usenet. Check
        comp.mail.smail and the comp.is.linux.* newsgroups.
        Also the maintainers of smail will fixed RSN.
