Title: Postfix SMTP Log Denial Of Service Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Postfix is a free, open-source mailer that was designed to be an alternative to Sendmail. It is written and maintained by Wietse Venema.
Postfix is prone to a denial of service condition.
Postfix keeps a log of all client-server SMTP conversations. However, there is no limit placed on how much memory the log may consume. Theoretically, this may result in a denial of service if the SMTP log becomes too large.
