Subject:      [SECURITY] New version if ipopd prevents exploit
To:	BUGTRAQ@NETSPACE.ORG

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

We have received reports that the version of the imap suite
in Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 has a vulnerability in its POP-2 daemon,
which can be found in the ipopd package. Using this vulnerability
it is possible for remote users to get a shell as user "nobody"
on the server.

We recommend you upgrade your ipopd package immediately.

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.
