Synopsis:	Moderate: postfix security update
Issue date:	2011-04-06
CVE Names:	CVE-2011-0411

It was discovered that Postfix did not flush the received SMTP commands
buffer after switching to TLS encryption for an SMTP session. A
man-in-the-middle attacker could use this flaw to inject SMTP commands 
into a victim's session during the plain text phase. This would lead to 
those commands being processed by Postfix after TLS encryption is 
enabled, possibly allowing the attacker to steal the victim's mail or 
authentication credentials. (CVE-2011-0411)

After installing this update, the postfix service will be restarted 
automatically.
