Doc Text:
A flaw was found in OpenDMARC. A NULL pointer dereference occurs in the strcasecmp call within libopendmarc/opendmarc_policy.c during subdomain walking when processing Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) records. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw by sending a specially crafted email that triggers the subdomain walking code path, potentially causing the OpenDMARC milter process to crash, resulting in a denial of service (DoS).
