CVE-2011-1720 not yet assigned priority: Debian including 1 source packages (postfix), 5 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): resolved 5.
The SMTP server in Postfix before 2.5.13, 2.6.x before 2.6.10, 2.7.x before 2.7.4, and 2.8.x before 2.8.3, when certain Cyrus SASL authentication methods are enabled, does not create a new server handle after client authentication fails, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption and daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via an invalid AUTH command with one method followed by an AUTH command with a different method.
