CVE-2023-51765

보통 5.3CVE-2023-51765 · Published 24/12/2023 · updated 17/06/2026

Package	Affected versions	Patched versions
sendmail sendmail	`< 8.18.0.2`	`8.18.0.2`

Description

sendmail through 8.17.2 allows SMTP smuggling in certain configurations. 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 sendmail supports <LF>.<CR><LF> but some other popular e-mail servers do not. This is resolved in 8.18 and later versions with 'o' in srv_features.
