CVE-2022-48521 (GCVE-0-2022-48521)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-07-11 00:00 – Updated: 2024-08-03 15:17
VLAI
Summary
An issue was discovered in OpenDKIM through 2.10.3, and 2.11.x through 2.11.0-Beta2. It fails to keep track of ordinal numbers when removing fake Authentication-Results header fields, which allows a remote attacker to craft an e-mail message with a fake sender address such that programs that rely on Authentication-Results from OpenDKIM will treat the message as having a valid DKIM signature when in fact it has none.
