+    Christoph Anton Mitterer reported that maildrop does not properly drop
+    its privileges when run as root.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    A local attacker could create a specially crafted .mailfilter file,
+    possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary commands with the "root"
+    group privileges. NOTE: Successful exploitation requires that maildrop
+    is run as root with the -d option.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All maildrop users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=mail-filter/maildrop-2.4.2&quot;</code>
