CVE-2020-3812

qmail-verify as used in netqmail 1.06 is prone to an information disclosure vulnerability.

MEDIUM 5.5EPSS 0.43%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.43%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

qmail-verify as used in netqmail 1.06 is prone to an information disclosure vulnerability. A local attacker can test for the existence of files and directories anywhere in the filesystem because qmail-verify runs as root and tests for the existence of files in the attacker's home directory, without dropping its privileges first.
