4.7 · Medium

Score breakdown

OpenSMTPD before 6.6.4 allows local users to read arbitrary files (e.g., on some Linux distributions) because of a combination of an untrusted search path in makemap.c and race conditions in the offline functionality in smtpd.c.

Mitigation

Ubuntu ships with /proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlinks enabled by default, making this vulnerability not exploitable.
