- CVE-2011-0411
- It was discovered that Postfix did not flush the received SMTP commands buffer after switching to TLS encryption for an SMTP session. A man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to inject SMTP commands into a victim's session during the plain text phase. This would lead to those commands being processed by Postfix after TLS encryption is enabled, possibly allowing the attacker to steal the victim's mail or authentication credentials.

Users of Postfix are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve this issue. After installing this update, the postfix service will be restarted automatically.
