  <title>Roundcube: Arbitrary code execution</title>
  <synopsis>A vulnerability in Roundcube could potentially lead to arbitrary
    code execution.
  </synopsis>

  <access>remote</access>
  <affected>
    <package name="mail-client/roundcube" auto="yes" arch="*">
      <unaffected range="ge">1.2.3</unaffected>

  <description>
    <p>Roundcube, when no SMTP server is configured and the sendmail program is
      enabled, does not properly restrict the use of custom envelope-from
      addresses on the sendmail command line.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>An authenticated remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code
      with the privileges of the process, or cause a Denial of Service
      condition.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>Don’t use a MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) in conjunction with Roundcube
      which implements sendmail’s “-O” or “-X” parameter, or
      configure Roundcube to use a SMTP server as recommended by upstream.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All Roundcube users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=mail-client/roundcube-1.2.3"
    </code>
  </resolution>
