USN-74-1: Postfix vulnerability

Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 02/04/2005 04:53 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

A Postfix security update has been released for Ubuntu Linux 4.10

==========================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-74-1 February 04, 2005
postfix vulnerability
http://bugs.debian.org/267837
==========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)

The following packages are affected:

postfix

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 2.1.3-1ubuntu17.1. In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

Jean-Samuel Reynaud noticed a programming error in the IPv6 handling code of Postfix when /proc/net/if_inet6 is not available (which is the case in Ubuntu since Postfix runs in a chroot). If "permit_mx_backup" was enabled in the "smtpd_recipient_restrictions", Postfix turned into an open relay, i. e. erroneously permitted the delivery of arbitrary mail to any MX host which has an IPv6 address.
