Package : dovecot
CVE ID : CVE-2020-12100 CVE-2020-12673 CVE-2020-12674

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Dovecot email
server.

CVE-2020-12100

Receiving mail with deeply nested MIME parts leads to resource
exhaustion as Dovecot attempts to parse it.

CVE-2020-12673

Dovecot's NTLM implementation does not correctly check message
buffer size, which leads to a crash when reading past allocation.

CVE-2020-12674

Dovecot's RPA mechanism implementation accepts zero-length message,
which leads to assert-crash later on.

For the stable distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed in
version 1:2.3.4.1-5+deb10u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your dovecot packages.
