VULHUB ™

Reportedly getmail is affected by a local symbolic link vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the application to validate files prior to writing to them. An attacker may leverage this issue to cause arbitrary files to be written to with the privileges of a user that sends messages to an attacker-controlled file. This may facilitate privilege escalation or destruction of data.
