Re: [ietf-dkim] Necessary Verifier Actions to mitigate exploitation of trust established through DKIM signatures.

2010-11-05 13:48:57
Append to Section 6 Verifier Actions:

It is not reasonable to assume a message is in compliance with RFC5322.  
To mitigate trivial exploitation of trust established by DKIM 
signatures, messages having multiple header fields for "orig-date", 
"from", "sender", "reply-to", "to", "cc", "message-id", "in-reply-to", 
"references", or "subject" MUST always return PERMFAIL for any DKIM 
signature associated with the message.  When there are multiple 
singleton header fields, a field selected for display or sorting is 
therefore undefined.  Likely top-down selections by consumers of DKIM 
status where the signature verification selects bottom-up leaves 
singleton headers highly prone to trivial exploitation.
