Descriptions

Postfix before 2.11.10, 3.0.x before 3.0.10, 3.1.x before 3.1.6, and 3.2.x before 3.2.2 might allow local users to gain privileges by leveraging undocumented functionality in Berkeley DB 2.x and later, related to reading settings from DB_CONFIG in the current directory.

Postfix, en versiones anteriores a la 2.11.10, versiones 3.0.x anteriores a la 3.0.10, versiones 3.1.x anteriores a la 3.1.6 y versiones 3.2.x anteriores a la 3.2.2, podría permitir que usuarios locales obtengan privilegios aprovechando una funcionalidad no documentada en Berkeley DB, en versiones 2.x y posteriores. Esto está relacionado con la lectura de opciones de DB_CONFIG en el directorio actual.
