Remote unauthenticated parsing of inbound email (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N); a single-byte NUL off-by-one realistically yields DoS and minor corruption (I:L/A:L), no meaningful disclosure (C:N).

4DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was detected in Trusted Domain Project OpenDMARC up to 1.4.2. Affected by this vulnerability is the function opendmarc_util_cleanup in the library libopendmarc/opendmarc_util.c of the component DMARC Record Parser. Performing a manipulation results in off-by-one. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used. The patch is named b3b1da9264bc80324094a27c71e7369bdedc62ae. To fix this issue, it is recommended to deploy a patch.
AnalysisAI
Off-by-one bounds error in Trusted Domain Project OpenDMARC through 1.4.2 lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker send a crafted message that causes the DMARC record parser's opendmarc_util_cleanup routine to write one byte past the end of a buffer; publicly available exploit code exists. The practical impact is narrow - the overflow is a single NUL byte, so the realistic outcome is a crash or denial of service rather than controllable memory corruption, which aligns with the independently assessed CVSS:3.1 vector (C:N/I:L/A:L). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires the target to run OpenDMARC <=1.4.2 as a DMARC-checking milter on an internet-facing mail server (Postfix/Sendmail), such that attacker-influenced input reaches opendmarc_util_cleanup during DMARC record parsing. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L, base 6.9) describes a remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw with low impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability, plus E:P (proof-of-concept exploit maturity). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Apply the upstream fix, which is available as commit b3b1da9264bc80324094a27c71e7369bdedc62ae (referenced in the vendor-tracked patch data), delivered via GitHub PR https://github.com/trusteddomainproject/OpenDMARC/pull/188 and PR https://github.com/trusteddomainproject/OpenDMARC/pull/344; because these are PR/commit-level fixes, treat this as 'Upstream fix available (PR/commit); released patched version not independently confirmed' and verify whether a tagged OpenDMARC release bundles the change before relying on a package upgrade - if not, rebuild libopendmarc from the patched commit. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
