Description

The "read mail" module, allows you to attach a file even
when the user is set to be unable to attach server files
(sorry fot my english)

Impact

I were able to attach /etc/passwd and others files.

Workaround

Setting tighter file permissions.
May be "chrooting" the user could avoid this. In this
particular system I manage, they are not allowed to
login, but they are not "chrooted".

Probably modifing the pl file. But I don't program in perl :-

    This is not really a bug, as normal Unix file permissions
    still apply, so really critical files like /etc/shadow
    cannot be used as a signature. Also, the feature for
    attaching server-side files could be used in the same way ..
