    Debian Bug     : 1144639

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Dovecot IMAP server
    which could result in denial of service, SMTP smuggling, information
    disclosure, code injection via malformed Sieve scripts or bypass of ACL
    restrictions.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 1:2.4.1+dfsg1-6+deb13u7.

    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

    Further information about Debian Security Advisories, how to apply
    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
