Description:
Astaro has issued an update for libspf2. This fixes a vulnerability, which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially compromise an application using the library.

The vulnerability is cause due to a boundary error within the "SPF_dns_resolv_lookup()" function in Spf_dns_resolv.c when processing DNS responses. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted DNS TXT record.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.
