    Package        : postfix
    CVE ID         : not yet available

    Several vulnerabilities were discovered in postfix, a high-performance
    mail transport agent, which could result in denial of service or policy
    bypass.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 3.10.13-0+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your postfix packages.
