postfix is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution. A heap-based buffer over-read flaw was found in the way Postfix performed SASL handlers management for SMTP sessions, when Cyrus SASL authentication was enabled. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause the Postfix smtpd server to crash via a specially-crafted SASL authentication request. The smtpd process was automatically restarted by the postfix master process after the time configured with service_throttle_time elapsed.
