The majority of exploits on Linux systems can be attributed to misconfigured servers and poor administration."

Server-side exploitation is possible when the attacker connects to the OpenSMTPD server and sends an email that creates a bounce. When OpenSMTPD connects back to deliver the bounce, the attacker can take advantage of the client-side vulnerability.
What if I told you that there is an exploitable security risk hiding in plain sight that could result in the compromise of your Linux or Windows machine? What if I told you that the attack vector has been exploited since 2015 and that both vendors and attackers are well aware of it?
