Summary
The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory GLSA 200804-11.
Solution
All policyd-weight users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=mail-filter/policyd-weight-0.1.14.17'
This version changes the default path for sockets to '/var/run/policyd-weight', which is only writable by a privileged user.
Users need to restart policyd-weight immediately after the upgrade due to this change.
