CVE-2007-3791
Buffer overflow in the w_read function in sockets.c in Cami Sardinha and Nigel Kukard policyd before 1.81 for Postfix allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via long SMTP commands.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.21%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
