NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream courier package and not the courier package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

Double Precision Courier e-mail MTA allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a message with an extremely large or negative value for the year, which causes a tight loop.
