        server by sending a NOOP command with an invalid string
        parameter. This occurs particularly for a parameter that
        doesn't start with a double quote. This applies to all
        SMTP services, including submission-login, which makes
        it possible to crash the submission service without
        authentication.
    
      - CVE-2020-10958: lmtp/submission: Sending many invalid or
        unknown commands can cause the server to access freed
        memory, which can lead to a server crash. This happens
        when the server closes the connection with a '421 Too
        many invalid commands' error. The bad command limit
        depends on the service (lmtp or submission) and varies
        between 10 to 20 bad commands.
    
      - CVE-2020-10967: lmtp/submission: Issuing the RCPT
        command with an address that has the empty quoted string

    Vulnerability Details : Sending malformed NOOP command causes crash in
    submission, submission-login or lmtp service.
    
    Risk : Remote attacker can keep submission-login service down, causing
    denial of service attack. For lmtp the risk is neglible, as lmtp is
    usually behind a trusted MTA.
    
    Steps to reproduce : Send ``NOOP EE'FY`` to submission port, or
    similarly malformed command.
    
    Vulnerability Details :
    
    Sending command followed by sufficient number of newlines triggers a
    use-after-free bug that might crash submission-login, submission or
    lmtp service.
    
    Risk :
    
    Remote attacker can keep submission-login service down, causing denial
    of service attack. For lmtp the risk is neglible, as lmtp is usually
    behind a trusted MTA.
    
    Steps to reproduce :
    
    This can be currently reproduced with ASAN or Valgrind. Reliable way
    to crash has not yet been discovered.
    
    Vulnerability Details : Sending mail with empty quoted localpart
    causes submission or lmtp component to crash.
    
    Risk : Malicious actor can cause denial of service to mail delivery by
    repeatedly sending mails with bad sender or recipient address.
    
    Steps to reproduce : Send mail with envelope sender or recipient as
    <''@example.org>.
    
    Workaround : For submission there is no workaround, but triggering the
    bug requires valid credentials. For lmtp, one can implement sufficient
    filtering on MTA level to prevent mails with such addresses from
    ending up in LMTP delivery."

        parameter. This occurs particularly for a parameter that
        doesn't start with a double quote. This applies to all
        SMTP services, including submission-login, which makes
        it possible to crash the submission service without
        authentication.
    
      - CVE-2020-10958: lmtp/submission: Sending many invalid or
        unknown commands can cause the server to access freed
        memory, which can lead to a server crash. This happens
        when the server closes the connection with a '421 Too
        many invalid commands' error. The bad command limit
        depends on the service (lmtp or submission) and varies
        between 10 to 20 bad commands.
    
      - CVE-2020-10967: lmtp/submission: Issuing the RCPT
        command with an address that has the empty quoted string
        as local-part causes the lmtp service to crash.
