Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Georgi Guninski and the Qualys Research Labs discovered multiple vulnerabilities in qmail (shipped in Debian as netqmail with additional patches) which could result in the execution of arbitrary code, bypass of mail address verification and a local information leak whether a file exists or not.

Solution

Upgrade the netqmail packages.

For the oldstable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 1.06-6.2~deb9u1.

For the stable distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed in version 1.06-6.2~deb10u1.
