CVE-2020-7845

Status: ModifiedCritical (9.8)—

Spamsniper 5.0 ~ 5.2.7 contain a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability caused by improper boundary checks when parsing MAIL FROM command. It leads remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via crafted packet.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
