Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.12.2005.74.1
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-74-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'postfix' package(s) announced via the USN-74-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'postfix' package(s) announced via the USN-74-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Jean-Samuel Reynaud noticed a programming error in the IPv6 handling
code of Postfix when /proc/net/if_inet6 is not available (which is the
case in Ubuntu since Postfix runs in a chroot). If 'permit_mx_backup'
was enabled in the 'smtpd_recipient_restrictions', Postfix turned into
an open relay, i. e. erroneously permitted the delivery of arbitrary
mail to any MX host which has an IPv6 address.

Affected Software/OS:
'postfix' package(s) on Ubuntu 4.10.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.0

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
