Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Dovecot email server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following issues :
CVE-2017-14461 Aleksandar Nikolic of Cisco Talos and ‘flxflndy’ discovered that Dovecot does not properly parse invalid email addresses, which may cause a crash or leak memory contents to an attacker.
CVE-2017-15130 It was discovered that TLS SNI config lookups may lead to excessive memory usage, causing imap-login/pop3-login VSZ limit to be reached and the process restarted, resulting in a denial of service. Only Dovecot configurations containing local_name { } or local { } configuration blocks are affected.
CVE-2017-15132 It was discovered that Dovecot contains a memory leak flaw in the login process on aborted SASL authentication.
