Title:DSA-1659 libspf2 -- buffer overflow
Description:Dan Kaminsky discovered that libspf2, an implementation of the Sender Policy Framework (SPF) used by mail servers for mail filtering, handles malformed TXT records incorrectly, leading to a buffer overflow condition (CVE-2008-2469). Note that the SPF configuration template in Debian's Exim configuration recommends to use libmail-spf-query-perl, which does not suffer from this issue.
