Package : opendmarc Version : 1.3.2-6+deb10u3 CVE ID : CVE-2020-12272 Debian Bug : 977767

It was discovered that there was an issue in the opendmarc DMARC email filter system. A vulnerability allowed attackers to inject authentication results to provide false information about the domain that originated an email message. This was caused by incorrect parsing and interpretation of SPF/DKIM authentication results.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 1.3.2-6+deb10u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your opendmarc packages.

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

Solution
