Debian: New libspf2 packages fix potential remote code execution
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).

You need JavaScript enabled to view it. https://www.debian.org/security/ Florian Weimer October 23, 2008 https://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Package : libspf2 Vulnerability : buffer overflow Problem type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-2469 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. For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.5-4+etch1. For the testing distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.5.dfsg-5+lenny1. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your libspf2 package.
