The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has dovecot packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  • In Dovecot before 2.3.11.3, uncontrolled recursion in submission, lmtp, and lda allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a crafted e-mail message with deeply nested MIME parts. (CVE-2020-12100)

  • In Dovecot before 2.3.11.3, sending a specially formatted NTLM request will crash the auth service because of an out-of-bounds read. (CVE-2020-12673)

  • In Dovecot before 2.3.11.3, sending a specially formatted RPA request will crash the auth service because a length of zero is mishandled. (CVE-2020-12674)

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