Description:
A security issue has been reported in Postfix, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The security issue is caused due to Postfix leaking the epoll file descriptor when executing non-Postfix commands, which can be exploited to cause a DoS.
The security issue only affects Postfix 2.4 or later in combination with epoll (e.g. Linux 2.6).
