Beschreibung:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2003:717. Postfix[1] is a widely used MTA (Mail Transport Agent, sometimes called just an email or SMTP server). This update for Conectiva Linux 7.0 and 8 fixes two vulnerabilities in Postfix reported[4] by Michal Zalewski: 1. Postfix used as a bounce scanner (CVE-2003-0468)[2] By using specially created recipients, it is possible to make Postfix attempt to establish SMTP sessions with arbitrary hosts on arbitrary ports. This could be used to identify open TCP ports on remote machines or to just generate traffic. 2. Remote denial of service (CVE-2003-0540)[3] A malformed address can be used to cause a denial of service condition in two ways: - by locking up the queue manager: the offending message has to be manually removed from the queue in order to restore the service - by locking up the smtpd listener: when supplied with the malformed address, the listener process will stop responding. Multiple attacks in parallel will hang many smtpd processes, leading to a denial of service. In order to be vulnerable to this issue, the append_dot_mydomain paramater would have to be changed from the default value of on to off. Conectiva Linux 9 is not vulnerable to any of these issues since it ships with Postfix 2.0.x. Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://www.postfix.org/ http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2003-0468 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2003-0540 http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/331713/2003-08-01/2003-08-07/0 http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=CLA-2003:717 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002003 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 5.0
