Postfix is vulnerable to SMTP smuggling. The vulnerability is caused due to support for .
while handling line endings. A remote attacker can exploit this using published exploitation technique to inject e-mail messages with a spoofed MAIL FROM address, allowing bypass of an SPF protection mechanism. If Postfix is configured with smtpd_data_restrictions=reject_unauth_pipelining
and smtpd_discard_ehlo_keywords=chunking
configuration options (or certain other options that exist in recent versions), this attack is not possible.
