    A weakness has been identified in Trusted Domain Project OpenDKIM up to 2.11.0. This affects the function
    dkim_canon_selecthdrs of the file libopendkim/dkim-canon.c of the component DKIM Signature Header
    Selection. Executing a manipulation of the argument h can lead to out-of-bounds write. The attack can be
    executed remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. The
    vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way. (CVE-2026-100888)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.
