Package: mailscanner
Version: 4.38.10-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fhs

Hello,

with the default configuration, mailscanner uses /tmp as the directory
holding pid and lock files.  Since these dirs are world writeable, this
is a security concern.  It should use /var/run/mailscanner instead. I 
think this bug should be fixed downstream and be reported upstream as 
well.

Greetings,
Wollie
