NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nullmailer package and not the nullmailer package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The Gentoo Nullmailer package before 1.11-r2 uses world-readable permissions for /etc/nullmailer/remotes, which allows local users to obtain SMTP authentication credentials by reading the file.
