3. Description:

Dovecot is an IMAP server for Linux, UNIX, and similar operating systems,
primarily written with security in mind.

A denial of service flaw was found in the way Dovecot handled NULL
characters in certain header names. A mail message with specially-crafted
headers could cause the Dovecot child process handling the target user's
connection to crash, blocking them from downloading the message
successfully and possibly leading to the corruption of their mailbox.
(CVE-2011-1929)

Users of dovecot are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to resolve this issue. After installing the
updated packages, the dovecot service will be restarted automatically.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

706286 - CVE-2011-1929 dovecot: potential crash when parsing header names that contain NUL characters
