Description

Certain versions of Postfix do not re-write e-mail addresses correctly. As a result, it is possible for a remote attacker to use a malformed address to disable the service. It should be noted that a successful exploit can corrupt the queue, requiring the extra intervention by the administrator to restore functionality.
