Format string vulnerability in the ErrorLog function in cnf.c in Greylisting daemon (GLD) 1.3 and 1.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in data that is passed directly to syslog.

Security readout for executives and security teams

GLD, a greylisting daemon used with Postfix, logged attacker-controlled data unsafely in versions 1.3 and 1.4. The CVE says a remote attacker could potentially run arbitrary code. This is old, but any remaining deployment on mail gateways deserves prompt review. Exposure is likely limited to legacy mail infrastructure using GLD 1.3 or 1.4 with Postfix greylisting. The provided CVE data does not identify other products, maintained forks, or current package status. Treat this as a legacy infrastructure cleanup item with high impact if present. It should not distract from current KEV threats unless GLD 1.3 or 1.4 is actually deployed. Mitigation focus: Identify any GLD 1.3 or 1.4 deployments on mail gateways.; Check vendor or distribution guidance for fixed GLD packages.; Disable or replace unsupported GLD deployments if no supported fix is available..
