description

maddy versions before 0.9.7 can panic during SMTP rate-limit cleanup when source-scoped limits are configured without IP-scoped limits. An unauthenticated remote client can cause the mail server process to terminate after the source limiter is exhausted. This requires an inbound SMTP endpoint using that rate-limit configuration.

mitigation

Upgrade github.com/foxcpp/maddy to version 0.9.7 or later. Until upgraded, avoid configuring source-scoped rate limits without an IP-scoped limit on exposed SMTP endpoints.

fixed in 0.9.7
