Description Stefan Behte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev Security 2010-03-06 15:30:10 UTC 
CVE-2010-0301 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2010-0301):
  main.C in maildrop 2.3.0 and earlier, when run by root with the -d
  option, uses the gid of root for execution of the .mailfilter file in
  a user's home directory, which allows local users to gain privileges
  via a crafted file.
