  • Use anchored failregex for filters to avoid possible DoS. Manually picked up from the current status of 0.8 branch (as of 0.8.13-29-g09b2016) :

    • CVE-2013-7176: postfix.conf - anchored on the front, expects ‘postfix/smtpd’ prefix in the log line

    • CVE-2013-7177: cyrus-imap.conf - anchored on the front, and refactored to have a single failregex

    • couriersmtp.conf - anchored on both sides

    • exim.conf - front-anchored versions picked up from exim.conf and exim-spam.conf

    • lighttpd-fastcgi.conf - front-anchored picked up from suhosin.conf (copied from the Wheezy version)

    • Catch also failed logins via secured (imaps/pop3s) for cyrus-imap. Regression was introduced while strengthening failregex in 0.8.11 (bd175f) Debian bug #755173

    • cyrus-imap: catch ‘user not found’ attempts
