The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202009-02 (Dovecot: Multiple vulnerabilities)
It was discovered that Dovecot incorrectly handled deeply nested MIME parts, incorrectly handled memory when using NTLM, and incorrectly handled zero-length messages.
Impact :
A remote attacker could send a specially crafted mail or send specially crafted authentication requests possibly resulting in a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
