Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________
Package name: postfix
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2003:081
Date: August 4th, 2003
Affected versions: 8.2, 9.0, Corporate Server 2.1,
Multi Network Firewall 8.2
________________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Two vulnerabilities were discovered in the postfix MTA by Michal
Zalewski. Versions prior to 1.1.12 would allow an attacker to bounce-
scan private networks or use the daemon as a DDoS (Distributed Denial
of Service) tool by forcing the daemon to connect to an arbitrary
service at an arbitrary IP address and receiving either a bounce
message or by timing. As well, versions prior to 1.1.12 have a bug
where a malformed envelope address can cause the queue manager to
lock up until an entry is removed from the queue and also lock up
the SMTP listener leading to a DoS.
Postfix version 1.1.13 corrects these issues. The provided packages
have been patched to fix the vulnerabilities.
