Descriptions

Postfix 2.5 before 2.5.4 and 2.6 before 2.6-20080814 delivers to a mailbox file even when this file is not owned by the recipient, which allows local users to read e-mail messages by creating a mailbox file corresponding to another user's account name.

Postfix 2.5 anterior a 2.5.4 y 2.6 anterior a 2.6-20080814 envía a un archivo buzón incluso cuando este archivo no es propiedad del receptor, lo que permite a usuarios locales leer mensajes de correo creando un archivo buzón correspondiente con el nombre de cuenta de otro usuario.
