SuSE9 Security Update : Postfix (YOU Patch Number 12707)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 53868

Language:

Synopsis

The remote SuSE 9 host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

The following bugs have been fixed :

 - Remote attackers could potentially exploit a memory corruption issue in postfix' SASL implementation to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2011-1720)

 - Also Postfix did not clear the receive buffer after the STARTTLS command. A man-in-the middle could therefore inject commands in the unencrypted stream that get interpreted in the encrypted phase after STARTTLS.
 (CVE-2011-0411)

Solution

Apply YOU patch number 12707.
