Package: masqmail
Severity: grave
Tags: security sarge
Justification: user security hole

Mandriva has disclosed two security problems in masqmail:

 Jens Steube discovered two vulnerabilities in masqmail:
 
 When sending failed mail messages, the address was not properly
 sanitized which could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary
 commands as the mail user (CAN-2005-2662).
 
 When opening the log file, masqmail did not relinquish privileges,
 which could allow a local attacker to overwrite arbitrary files via a
 symlink attack (CAN-2005-2663).

CAN-2005-2662 seems to be quite serious.
