Postfix has been patched to address vulnerabilities stemming from improper email filtering and a risk of service interruptions.
Qualys discovered that the OpenSMTPD SMTP server performed insufficient validation of email addresses which could result in the execution of arbitrary commands as root

Summary

Qualys discovered that the OpenSMTPD SMTP server performed insufficient
validation of email addresses which could result in the execution of
arbitrary commands as root. In addition this update fixes a denial of
service by triggering an opportunistic TLS downgrade.

For the oldstable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed
in version 6.0.2p1-2+deb9u2.

For the stable distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed in
version 6.0.3p1-5+deb10u3. This update also includes non-security
bugfixes which were already lined up for the Buster 10.3 point release.

We recommend that you upgrade your opensmtpd packages.
