Detail
Vulnerability Note VU#183657libspf2 DNS TXT record parsing buffer overflowOverviewlibspf2 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in code that parses DNS TXT records.I. Descriptionlibspf2 is a widely-deployed implementation of the Sender Policy Framework. According to RFC 4408:An SPF record is a DNS Resource Record (RR) that declares which hosts are, and are not, authorized to use a domain name for the "HELO" and "MAIL FROM" identities. Loosely, the record partitions all hosts into permitted and not-permitted sets (though some hosts might fall into neither category).
II. ImpactThis vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on a system running libspf2.III. SolutionUpgradeVendors and those who directly use libspf2 should upgrade to version 1.2.8.

Title: | DSA-1659 libspf2 -- buffer overflow | ||
Description: | Dan Kaminsky discovered that libspf2, an implementation of the Sender Policy Framework (SPF) used by mail servers for mail filtering, handles malformed TXT records incorrectly, leading to a buffer overflow condition (CVE-2008-2469). Note that the SPF configuration template in Debian's Exim configuration recommends to use libmail-spf-query-perl, which does not suffer from this issue. | ||
