Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2003:081 (postfix)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to postfix announced via advisory MDKSA-2003:081. Two vulnerabilities were discovered in the postfix MTA by Michal Zalewski. Versions prior to 1.1.12 would allow an attacker to bounce- scan private networks or use the daemon as a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) tool by forcing the daemon to connect to an arbitrary service at an arbitrary IP address and receiving either a bounce message or by timing. As well, versions prior to 1.1.12 have a bug where a malformed envelope address can cause the queue manager to lock up until an entry is removed from the queue and also lock up the SMTP listener leading to a DoS. Postfix version 1.1.13 corrects these issues. The provided packages have been patched to fix the vulnerabilities. Affected versions: 8.2, 9.0, Corporate Server 2.1, Multi Network Firewall 8.2 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2003:081 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2003-0468 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2003-0540 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 5.0
