a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6591-1 advisory.

    Timo Longin discovered that Postfix incorrectly handled certain email line endings. A remote attacker
    could possibly use this issue to bypass an email authentication mechanism, allowing domain spoofing and
    potential spamming.

    Please note that certain configuration changes are required to address this issue. They are not enabled by
    default for backward compatibility. Information can be found at https://www.postfix.org/smtp-
    smuggling.html.

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
