It was discovered that Dovecot incorrectly handled deeply nested MIME parts. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Dovecot to consume resources, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2020-12100) It was discovered that Dovecot incorrectly handled memory when using NTLM. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Dovecot to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2020-12673) It was discovered that the Dovecot RPA mechanism incorrectly handled zero-length messages. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Dovecot to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2020-12674).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
