+  <title>getmail: Filesystem overwrite vulnerability</title>

+    user to create or overwrite files in any directory on the system. This flaw
+    can be escalated further and possibly lead to a complete system compromise.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    David Watson discovered a vulnerability in getmail when it is
+    configured to run as root and deliver mail to the maildirs/mbox files
+    of untrusted local users. A malicious local user can then exploit a
+    race condition, or a similar symlink attack, and potentially cause
+    getmail to create or overwrite files in any directory on the system.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    An untrusted local user could potentially create or overwrite files in
+    any directory on the system. This vulnerability may also be exploited
+    to have arbitrary commands executed as root.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    Do not run getmail as a privileged user; or, in version 4, use an
+    external MDA with explicitly configured user and group privileges.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All getmail users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge sync
+    
+    # emerge -pv &quot;&gt;=net-mail/getmail-4.2.0&quot;
+    # emerge &quot;&gt;=net-mail/getmail-4.2.0&quot;</code>
