Synopsis
=======
A heap-based buffer overflow in OpenDMARC might allow remote attackers
to execute arbitrary code.

Background

OpenDMARC is an open source DMARC implementation.

Affected packages

Description

It was found that OpenDMARC did not properly handle DMARC aggregate
reports.

Impact
=====
A remote attacker, by sending a specially crafted DMARC aggregate
report, could possibly cause a Denial of Service condition and
depending on how OpenDMARC library is used in linked application
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process.

Workaround
