According to the oss-security list[1], this vulnerability has been made
exploitable in May 2018 - the version in EPEL (and Fedora) is 6.0.3,
which was released on Jan 4, 2018[2].

I'd prefer just retiring the epel branch. I'm not using it myself, but
as it seems the CVEs I could find for OpenSMTPd do not affect the EPEL
version I wouldn't remove/obsolete already installed packages.

In Fedora there seems to be activity in OpenSMTPd (only checked
bugzilla[3]), so maybe the Fedora Maintainer is interested in also taking
the EPEL branch? (I've cc'ed the Fedora Maintainer, hope that's okay.)

All the best,
Astra
