New dovecot packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to

Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/dovecot-2.3.21.1-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes security issues:
A large number of address headers in email resulted in excessive CPU usage.
Abnormally large email headers are now truncated or discarded, with a limit
of 10MB on a single header and 50MB for all the headers of all the parts of
an email.
