- A flaw was found in dovecot 2.0 up to 2.2.33 and 2.3.0. An abort of SASL authentication results in a
memory leak in dovecot's auth client used by login processes. The leak has impact in high performance
configuration where same login processes are reused and can cause the process to crash due to memory
exhaustion. (CVE-2017-15132)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
