Description acount closed by user 2008-09-14 17:33:33 UTC

- Postfix Linux-only local denial of service: http://www.postfix.org/announcements/20080902.html

Postfix 2.4 and later, on Linux kernel 2.6, is vulnerable to a denial of service attack by a local user. There is no breach of data confidentiality or data integrity. This problem was found by the Postfix author during routine source code maintenance.


-thanks-
