A security vulnerability in the poppassd component of the Qpopper distribution has been discovered and publicized. This vulnerability could permit an attacker to gain root access. Note that the flaw requires shell access to to a system with poppassd installed. Poppassd is not built nor installed by default.
Work-arounds include removing the poppassd executable, or changing the permissions on the poppassd executable to prevent execution except by root. Either of these methods should enable you to avoid the vulnerability.
