+Package: qpopper
+Vulnerability: remote code execution
+OpenPKG Specific: no
+
+Affected Releases: Affected Packages: Corrected Packages:
+OpenPKG CURRENT <= qpopper-4.0.4-20030226 >= qpopper-4.0.5-20030313
+OpenPKG 1.2 <= qpopper-4.0.4-1.2.0 >= qpopper-4.0.4-1.2.1
+OpenPKG 1.1 <= qpopper-4.0.4-1.1.1 >= qpopper-4.0.4-1.1.2
+
+Dependent Packages: none
+
+Description:
+ According to Florian Heinz [0] a remote code execution vulnerability
+ exists in version 4.0.4 of the qpopper POP3 server [1]. Attackers may
+ remotely exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under
+ the user id of a mailbox owner and the 'mail' group id.
+
+ Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/rpm
+ -q qpopper". If you have the "qpopper" package installed and its version
+ is affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately upgrade
+ it (see Solution). [2][4]
+
+Solution:
+ Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
+ [4][6], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [7][8] or a mirror
+ location, verify its integrity [8], build a corresponding binary RPM
+ from it [2] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the binary
+ RPM [3]. For the current release OpenPKG 1.2, perform the following
+ operations to permanently fix the security problem (for other releases
+ adjust accordingly).
+
+ $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
+ ftp> bin
+ ftp> cd release/1.2/UPD
+ ftp> get qpopper-4.0.4-1.2.1.src.rpm
+ ftp> bye
+ $ <prefix>/bin/rpm -v --checksig qpopper-4.0.4-1.2.1.src.rpm
+ $ <prefix>/bin/rpm --rebuild qpopper-4.0.4-1.2.1.src.rpm
+ $ su -
+ # <prefix>/bin/rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/qpopper-4.0.4-1.2.1.*.rpm
