Nick Roessler and Rafi Rubin discovered that the IMAP and ManageSieve protocol parsers in the Dovecot email server do not properly validate input (both pre- and post-login). A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to trigger out of bounds heap memory writes, leading to information leaks or potentially the execution of arbitrary code.
