>Description:
From: http://marc.info/?l=amavis-user&m=123376788327981&w=2

The following patch provides a workaround for a Perl5.8.9 bug #62502:

  [perl #62502] Fcntl exported constants become tainted under 5.8.9

where O_WRONLY, O_APPEND and other Fcntl constants can become tainted.

The Perl bug could manifest itself as a taint problem during file-based
quarantining, during MIME decoding, decoding archives and decompressing
mail parts, and possibly elsewhere. The bug is triggered by a legitimate
code in Archive::Zip and affects subsequent operations in amavisd
for the lifetime of the child process.

This only affects perl 5.8.9;  the 5.8.8 and 5.10.0 are fine.

>How-To-Repeat:
Use amavisd :)
