Summary
Apache James prior to versions 3.8.1 and 3.7.5 is vulnerable to SMTP smuggling.
A lenient behaviour in line delimiter handling might create a difference of interpretation between the sender and the receiver which can be exploited by an attacker to forge an SMTP envelop, allowing for instance to bypass SPF checks.
The patch implies enforcement of CRLF as a line delimiter as part of the DATA transaction.
We recommend James users to upgrade to non vulnerable versions.

Un comportamiento indulgente en el manejo del delimitador de l\u00ednea podr\u00eda crear una diferencia de interpretaci\u00f3n entre el remitente y el receptor que un atacante puede aprovechar para falsificar un sobre SMTP, permitiendo, por ejemplo, eludir las comprobaciones SPF. El parche implica la aplicaci\u00f3n de CRLF como delimitador de l\u00ednea como parte de la transacci\u00f3n de DATOS. Recomendamos a los usuarios de James que actualicen a versiones no vulnerables."
