Robots running as root - Security Note
A fault was reported that allows root access to be gained.
We recommend all customers upgrade to
DMail 2.7r (release) http://netwinsite.com/dmail/download.htm
DMail 2.8k (beta)
If you cannot find an appropriate build for your operating system email support-dmail@netwinsite.com with details and we will provide a build as soon as possible.
The fault is such that root access can be gained primarily to linux hosts using a web
published exploit program.
On Linux to find out if your system has been attacked do this:
grep "etrn" /usr/local/dmail/dwatch/*.ded
If that finds any lines dated within the last 3 days, then it is likely your system was
attacked.
The fault could be exploited on other systems in future so it is essential that you
upgrade even if you are not running linux.
We applogize for this fault we are not happy that it existed in the first place. We
believe the above versions will be immune to all similar attacks. However we will also be
investigating further in an attempt to find and remove any other possible exploits.
see Known Bugs Page and Updates Page for further details.
