a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6591-2 advisory.
- Postfix through 3.8.5 allows SMTP smuggling unless configured with
smtpd_data_restrictions=reject_unauth_pipelining and smtpd_discard_ehlo_keywords=chunking (or certain
other options that exist in recent versions). Remote attackers can use a published exploitation technique
to inject e-mail messages with a spoofed MAIL FROM address, allowing bypass of an SPF protection
mechanism. This occurs because Postfix supports <LF>.<CR><LF> but some other popular e-mail servers do
not. To prevent attack variants (by always disallowing <LF> without <CR>), a different solution is
required, such as the smtpd_forbid_bare_newline=yes option with a Postfix minimum version of 3.5.23,
3.6.13, 3.7.9, 3.8.4, or 3.9. (CVE-2023-51764)
