    Package        : dovecot
    Version        : 1:2.3.13+dfsg1-2+deb11u2
    CVE ID         : CVE-2024-23184 CVE-2024-23185
    Debian Bug     : 1078876 1078877

    Vulnerabilities were discovered in dovecot, an POP3/IMAP server, which
    could lead to Denial of Service.

    CVE-2024-23184

        Having a large number of address headers (From, To, Cc, Bcc, etc.)
        becomes excessively CPU intensive.

    CVE-2024-23185

        Very large headers can cause resource exhaustion when parsing
        message.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
    1:2.3.13+dfsg1-2+deb11u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your dovecot packages.

    For the detailed security status of dovecot please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/dovecot
