CVE-2026-73209: Uncontrolled Recursion

An attacker that has valid credentials can send crafted compressed data that causes the affected process to exhaust its stack and crash. The affected process is terminated, which can cause degradation or denial of service for IMAP. Update to non-vulnerable version. No publicly available exploits...

PT-2026-83055

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions dovecot versions prior to 2.4.5-1.1 Description An attacker with valid credentials can cause CPU consumption and subsequent service degradation or denial of service for IMAP by using the IMAP LIST command. Recommendations Update to version...

PT-2026-83059

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions dovecot versions prior to 2.4.5-1.1 Description An attacker can send a crafted email with message header values designed to collide in an internal hash table. This causes the IMAP THREAD command to consume CPU resources disproportionate to the...

PT-2026-83068

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions dovecot versions prior to 2.4.5-1.1 Description An attacker with valid credentials can send an invalid IMAP URLFETCH command, causing the system to include uninitialized memory in the error response returned to the client. This can lead to the...

CVE-2026-40015

An attacker that has valid credentials can open many connections to the imap-hibernate service and send invalid commands, which can intermittently cause an out-of-bounds read and crash the process. The crash interrupts hibernated IMAP sessions handled by the affected process, which can cause...

CVE-2026-33607: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption

An attacker that has valid credentials can use IMAP LIST command to consume CPU. This can cause degradation or denial of service for IMAP. Monitor system for abnormal CPU usage and kill the offending process and lock account. Alternatively install fixed version. No publicly available exploits are...

Monitor system for abnormal CPU usage and kill the offending process and lock account. Alternatively install fixed version. No publicly available exploits are...

CVE-2026-40014

An attacker that can send mail to a user can craft a message header that makes the IMAP THREAD command consume CPU disproportionate to the size of the message. When a mail client issues a THREAD command on the affected mailbox, this can cause degradation or denial of service for IMAP. Monitor...

PT-2026-83050

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions dovecot versions prior to 2.4.5-1.1 Description An attacker can send a crafted email with headers containing an excessive number of email addresses or MIME parameters. When the message is parsed via IMAP, it leads to excessive memory...

PT-2026-83075

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions dovecot versions prior to 2.4.5-1.1 Description An attacker with valid credentials can send specially crafted compressed data that leads to stack exhaustion, causing the affected process to crash. This termination of the process can result in...

PT-2026-83058

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions dovecot versions prior to 2.4.5-1.1 Description An attacker with valid credentials can establish multiple connections to the imap-hibernate service and send invalid commands. This action can trigger an intermittent out-of-bounds read, leading ...

CVE-2026-40017: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption

An attacker that can send mail to a user can craft a message header whose values are chosen to collide in an internal hash table, which makes the IMAP THREAD command consume CPU disproportionate to the size of the message. This is a separate issue from CVE-2026-40014 and is not addressed by that...

CVE-2026-27852: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption

An attacker that can send mail to a user can craft a message whose headers contain a very large number of email addresses or MIME parameters, which causes excessive memory usage when the message is later parsed. The message is still delivered, but reading it over IMAP can exhaust the memory limit...

CVE-2026-42391: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption

An unauthenticated attacker can send an IMAP ID command with a very large number of parameters before logging in, which causes memory and CPU usage to grow disproportionately. The login process can be terminated by the out-of-memory handling, which also terminates all other connections handled by...

CVE-2026-52687: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption

An attacker that has valid credentials can select a compression algorithm for the IMAP connection whose decompression state requires a large amount of memory, and open several such connections. The memory limit of the process is reached with only a few connections, terminating the process and all...

CVE-2026-42392

An attacker that has valid credentials can send an invalid IMAP URLFETCH command, which causes uninitialized memory to be included in the error response returned to the client. Process memory contents can be disclosed to the client, which may include sensitive data. Disable the IMAP URLAUTH...

CVE-2026-40017

An attacker that can send mail to a user can craft a message header whose values are chosen to collide in an internal hash table, which makes the IMAP THREAD command consume CPU disproportionate to the size of the message. This is a separate issue from CVE-2026-40014 and is not addressed by that...
