    <p>A remote attacker, by connecting to the SMTP listener daemon, could
      possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or
      cause a Denial of Service condition. Furthermore, a local attacker could
      perform symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges
      of the user running the application or escalate privileges.

  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
