Postfix 3.2.2 was released yesterday to address a security issue due to an
undocumented feature of Berkeley DB

Quote from http://www.postfix.org/announcements/postfix-3.2.2.html


Fixed in all supported releases:

Security: Berkeley DB versions 2 and later try to read settings from a file
DB_CONFIG in the current directory. This undocumented feature may introduce
undisclosed vulnerabilities resulting in privilege escalation with Postfix
set-gid programs (postdrop, postqueue) before they chdir to the Postfix que=
ue
directory, and with the postmap and postalias commands depending on whether=
 the
user's current directory is writable by other users. This fix does not chan=
ge
Postfix behavior for Berkeley DB versions < 3, but it does reduce postmap a=
nd
postalias 'create' performance with Berkeley DB versions 3.0 .. 4.6.
