Oracle Linux 8 : dovecot (ELSA-2022-1950)

The remote Oracle Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2022-1950 advisory. It is missing a security update for the Dovecot package. The submission service in Dovecot before 2.3.15 allows STARTTLS command injection in lib-smtp, resulting in sensitive information being redirected to an attacker-controlled address
