OR Google fixed a major security vulnerability that affected his mail servers gmail and the G Suite.
The error could allow an attacker to send fake messages that mimic any of its clients gmail or the G Suite.
According to security researcher Allison Husain, who found and reported the problem to Google In April, the bug also allowed attackers to transmit counterfeit emails under SPF (Sender Policy Framework) and DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance), two of the most advanced email security standards.
However, despite the fact that Google had 137 days to fix the problem, delayed updates, planning to fix the error sometime in september.
Its engineers Google changed their minds yesterday, when Husain posted details for the error in her blog, along with a PoC.
Seven hours after the publication of Google told Husain that it had developed a patch to block any attacks that exploit the issue, but work will be completed with final updates in September.
Her patch Google is already implemented on the server, which means that its users gmail and G Suite need to do nothing.
