Description:   Opened: 2005-10-15 10:06 0000
After upgrading packages on my system the XMail server didn't download pop3link
mail any more - in debug mode it would print messages like this:

<<
ErrCode   = -40
ErrString = Invalid server address
ErrInfo   = ***.homelinux.net
[PSYNC/MASQ] MasqDomain = "qtea.nl,qtea.nl" - RmtDomain = "***.homelinux.net" -
RmtName = "quinox" Failed !
>>

After some testing I found out that wget had the same problem in the chrooted
directory, and after some googling I found
http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.mod-security.user/day=20040711 . Copying
those 3 files mentioned in that post:

libnss_dns.so.2
libnss_files.so.2
libresolv.so.2

to the /chroot/xmail/lib directory fixed my problem.

ATM the init script copies all libs mentioned in ldd XMail - The resolve libs
are not listed there. IMO these will have to be copied by the init.d script too
before starting XMail

PS: 

XMail 1.22 has been released a few days ago and isn't in portage yet - it has a
security update to fix a buffer overflow with the local sendmail prog
(CAN-2005-2943):

Noone ? It is kind of bad if we leave an exploitable version of a mail server
in
portage for this long :/

1.22 is masked in the tree (wait a few minutes for mirrors to pick it up),
could
you please test it and see if it works for you so that I can remove the vuln
package and have the sec team issuing a GLSA?

It compiles without any problems and it runs fine :)

x86 or maintainer can go ahead and mark stable

CVE-2005-2943
Local exploitation of a buffer overflow vulnerability in XMail, as
distributed with multiple vendors' operating systems, allows local
attackers to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
