Synopsis
========

A heap-based buffer overflow in OpenDMARC might allow remote attackers
to execute arbitrary code.

Background
==========

OpenDMARC is an open source DMARC implementation.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  mail-filter/opendmarc        < 1.3.3                    >= 1.3.3

Description
===========

It was found that OpenDMARC did not properly handle DMARC aggregate
reports.

Impact
======

A remote attacker, by sending a specially crafted DMARC aggregate
report, could possibly cause a Denial of Service condition and
depending on how OpenDMARC library is used in linked application
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All OpenDMARC users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=mail-filter/opendmarc-1.3.3"
