OpenDKIM: Root privilege escalation

OpenDKIM: Root privilege escalation A vulnerability was discovered in Gentoo's ebuild for OpenDKIM which could lead to root privilege escalation. opendkim 2019-04-22 2019-04-22 629914 remote 2.10.3-r8 2.10.3-r8

A community effort to develop and maintain a C library for producing DKIM-aware applications and an open source milter for providing DKIM service.

It was discovered that Gentoo’s OpenDKIM ebuild does not properly set permissions or place the pid file in a safe directory.

A local attacker could escalate privileges.

Users should ensure the proper permissions are set as discussed in the referenced bugs.

All OpenDKIM users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-filter/opendkim-2.10.3-r8"
