    Synopsis
    ========

    vpopmail contains several bugs making it vulnerable to several SQL
    injection exploits as well as one buffer overflow and one format
    string exploit when using Sybase. This could lead to the execution of
    arbitrary code.

    Background
    ==========

    vpopmail handles virtual mail domains for qmail and Postfix.

    Affected packages
    =================

        -------------------------------------------------------------------
         Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
        -------------------------------------------------------------------
      1 net-mail/vpopmail < 5.4.6 >= 5.4.6

    Description
    ===========

    vpopmail is vulnerable to several unspecified SQL injection exploits.
    Furthermore when using Sybase as the backend database vpopmail is
    vulnerable to a buffer overflow and format string exploit.

    Impact
    ======

    These vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to execute code with the
    permissions of the user running vpopmail.

    Workaround
    ==========

    There is no known workaround at this time. All users are encouraged to
    upgrade to the latest available version of vpopmail.

    Resolution
    ==========

    All vpopmail users should upgrade to the latest version:

        # emerge sync

        # emerge -pv ">=net-mail/vpopmail-5.4.6"
        # emerge ">=net-mail/vpopmail-5.4.6"
