"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version CORE 5.05 / MAIN 5.05, has dovecot packages installed that are affected
by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - In Dovecot before 2.2.36.3 and 2.3.x before 2.3.5.1, a local attacker can cause a buffer overflow in the
    indexer-worker process, which can be used to elevate to root. This occurs because of missing checks in the
    fts and pop3-uidl components. (CVE-2019-7524)

  - It was discovered that Dovecot before versions 2.2.36.1 and 2.3.4.1 incorrectly handled client
    certificates. A remote attacker in possession of a valid certificate with an empty username field could
    possibly use this issue to impersonate other users. (CVE-2019-3814)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
