Package : nullmailer
Vulnerability : denial of service
Problem-type : local
Debian-specific: no

A problem has been discovered in nullmailer, a simple relay-only mail
transport agent for hosts that relay mail to a fixed set of smart
relays. When a mail is to be delivered locally to a user that doesn't
exist, nullmailer tries to deliver it, discovers a user unknown error
and stops delivering. Unfortunately, it stops delivering entirely,
not only this mail. Hence, it's very easy to craft a denial of service.

This problem has been fixed in version 1.00RC5-16.1woody2 for the
current stable distribution (woody) and in version 1.00RC5-17 for the
unstable distribution (sid). The old stable distribution (potato)
does not contain a nullmailer package.

We recommend that you upgrade your nullmailer package.

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
