Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem type : remote

CVE Id(s) : CVE-2007-3791

It was discovered that postfix-policyd, an anti-spam plugin for postfix,
didn't correctly bounds-test incoming SMTP commands potentially allowing
the remote exploitation of arbitrary code.
For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version
1.80-2.1etch1.
For the old stable distribution (sarge), this package was not present.
