Title: RPMMail Local/Remote Root Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in the distribution of rpmmail included with Red Hat 6.0's Extra Applications CD.
By sending a carefully-formed mail message to the affected mail host's 'rpmmail' account, an attacker may be able to obtain a root shell, or to run arbitrary commands as an unprivileged user.
The results of a successful exploit vary from system to system. In certain environments and configurations, an attacker can obtain local or remote root privileges. In other contexts, the result is remote command execution as the user running rpmmail.
Affected Products:
- RedHat Linux 6.0.0x
- S.u.S.E. Linux 6.2.0
