 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3509-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Markus Koschany July 27, 2023 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Package : libmail-dkim-perl Version : 0.54-1+deb10u1 Debian Bug : 1039489

 It was discovered that the domain check in libmail-dkim-perl, a Perl module to cryptographically identify the sender of email, compares i and d tags case sensitive when t=s is set on the DKIM key which causes spurious fails of legitimate messages.

 For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 0.54-1+deb10u1.

 We recommend that you upgrade your libmail-dkim-perl packages.

 For the detailed security status of libmail-dkim-perl please refer to its security tracker page at:
 https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/libmail-dkim-perl
