Fedora 33 libspf2: FEDORA-2021-044be3d54e Moderate Buffer Overflow Risk

fedora
Calendar Grey September 29, 2021
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Attention users: A critical update has been released for libspf2 to address security vulnerabilities, notably a buffer overflow, which fortifies email security within the Fedora environment.
Update to latest in git.

Summary

libspf2 is an implementation of the SPF (Sender Policy Framework)

specification as found at:

https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-mengwong-spf-00.txt

SPF allows email systems to check SPF DNS records and make sure that

an email is authorized by the administrator of the domain name that

it is coming from. This prevents email forgery, commonly used by

spammers, scammers, and email viruses/worms.

A lot of effort has been put into making it secure by design, and a

great deal of effort has been put into the regression tests.

Update to latest in git.
