Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'postfix' package(s) announced via the SSA:2024-022-01 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'postfix' package(s) announced via the SSA:2024-022-01 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
New postfix packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix a security issue.


Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/postfix-3.6.14-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
Security (inbound SMTP smuggling): with 'smtpd_forbid_bare_newline
= normalize' (default 'no' for Postfix < 3.9), the Postfix
SMTP server requires the standard End-of-DATA sequence
., and otherwise allows command or message
content lines ending in the non-standard , processing
them as if the client sent the standard .
The alternative setting, 'smtpd_forbid_bare_newline = reject'
will reject any command or message that contains a bare
, and is more likely to cause problems with legitimate
clients.
For backwards compatibility, local clients are excluded by
default with 'smtpd_forbid_bare_newline_exclusions =
$mynetworks'.
