Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51863
Category:Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2005:152
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2005:152.

Postfix is a Mail Transport Agent (MTA), supporting LDAP, SMTP AUTH (SASL),
and TLS.

A flaw was found in the ipv6 patch used with Postfix. When the file
/proc/net/if_inet6 is not available and permit_mx_backup is enabled in
smtpd_recipient_restrictions, this flaw could allow remote attackers to
bypass e-mail restrictions and perform mail relaying by sending mail to an
IPv6 hostname. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2005-0337 to this issue.

These updated packages also fix the following problems:

- - wrong permissions on doc directory
- - segfault when gethostbyname or gethostbyaddr fails

All users of postfix should upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain patches which resolve these issues.

Solution:
Please note that this update is available via
Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red
Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date
