-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2013-10128 2013-06-06 00:49:09 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : ssmtp Product : Fedora 17 Version : 2.61 Release : 20.fc17 URL : http://packages.debian.org/stable/mail/ssmtp Summary : Extremely simple MTA to get mail off the system to a Mailhub Description : A secure, effective and simple way of getting mail off a system to your mail hub. It contains no suid-binaries or other dangerous things - no mail spool to poke around in, and no daemons running in the background. Mail is simply forwarded to the configured mailhost. Extremely easy configuration. WARNING: the above is all it does; it does not receive mail nor manage queues. That belongs on a mail hub with a system administrator. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Removes world read access from the configuration file thus prohibiting reading of the password stored inside it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Tue Jun 4 2013 Manuel "lonely wolf" Wolfshant <wolfy@fedoraproject.org> - 2.61-20 - remove world readable permissions of the config file (#962988) * Sun Oct 14 2012 Manuel "lonely wolf" Wolfshant <wolfy@fedoraproject.org> - 2.61-19 - Optional separation of TLS client key and certificate files - Add patch enabling verification of TLS server ( #864894 ) - Correct %description and the source in order to reflect that sSMTP expands aliases which are read from a plain text file * Sat Jun 30 2012 Manuel "lonely wolf" Wolfshant <wolfy@fedoraproject.org> - 2.61-18 - Apply patch to fix addition of garbage at end of attachments -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #962988 - ssmtp.conf is world readble which is a security risk when using a password authentication https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=962988 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program. Use su -c 'yum update ssmtp' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/.
