An Update to the mitigation for the current CVE:

Add - as part of the mail ACL (the ACL referenced by the main config
option "acl_smtp_mail"):

     deny    condition = ${if eq{\\}{${substr{-1}{1}{$tls_in_sni}}}}
     deny    condition = ${if eq{\\}{${substr{-1}{1}{$tls_in_peerdn}}}}

This should prevent the currently known attack vector.

    Best regards from Dresden/Germany
