CVE-2020-12460

30
FAUCET Score

CVE-2020-12460 is a critical heap overflow vulnerability in OpenDMARC versions through 1.3.2 and 1.4.x through 1.4.0-Beta1, affecting Debian and Fedora distributions. This flaw allows remote attackers to trigger memory corruption by sending a specially crafted DMARC aggregate report, leading to a one-byte overwrite of heap metadata. With a CVSS score of 9.8 (CRITICAL), this vulnerability poses a severe risk of complete compromise (confidentiality, integrity, and availability). While no active exploits, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion have been observed, the high severity warrants immediate patching.
