Package: mailscanner
Version: 4.79.11-2
Severity: important
Tags: security
Hi,
update_virus_scanners uses /tmp/MailScanner.autoupdate.lock as lockfile and
exits without doing anything if it is a file (not a symlink) and has recently
been modified (according to mtime.)
This check can be potentially abused by local users to prevent the signatures
from being updated by continuously (re-)creating and/or updating the mtime of
that file.
Cheers,
