"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2023:0159 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

      CVE-2019-11500:
      In Dovecot before 2.2.36.4 and 2.3.x before 2.3.7.2 (and Pigeonhole before 0.5.7.2), protocol processing
    can fail for quoted strings. This occurs because '\0' characters are mishandled, and can lead to out-of-
    bounds writes and remote code execution.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

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