-------------------------------------------------------------------------     Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3860-1                [email protected]     https://www.debian.org/lts/security/                       Guilhem Moulin     September 02, 2024                            https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

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
