Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51592
Category:Conectiva Local Security Checks
Title:Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2001:439
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory CLA-2001:439.

Postfix is a widely used MTA (Mail Transport Agent, sometimes called
just an email or SMTP server).

Wietse Venema reported[1] a vulnerability[2] in Postfix where a
remote attacker could cause a DoS (denial of service) condition on
the server. The SMTP session log could grow to an unreasonable size
and possibly exhaust the server's memory if no other limits were in
place.


Solution:
The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades
by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade'
