Debian 10942 Published by

Debian Long Term Support has released urgent security advisories addressing critical vulnerabilities across several widely used packages including haveged, exim4, gsasl, and dovecot. Security researchers uncovered dangerous weaknesses ranging from a credential validation bug that enables local privilege escalation to malformed proxy frame processing that leaks confidential information. Additional flaws within the authentication library and email client introduce denial of service risks alongside potential data exposure caused by weak input validation and flawed access control mechanisms

Package : dovecot
Version : 1:2.3.13+dfsg1-2+deb11u4
CVE ID : CVE-2026-33603 CVE-2026-40020 CVE-2026-42006
Debian Bug : 1136444

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in dovecot, a POP3/IMAP server,
which could lead to Denial of Service or information leak.

CVE-2026-33603

An attacker can use a specially crafted base64 exchange between
Dovecot and Client to fake SCRAM TLS channel binding and later
eavesdrop communications between Dovecot and client as MITM proxy.

CVE-2026-40020

An attacker can use the IMAP `SETACL` command to inject the anyone
permission to user's dovecot-acl file even if
`imap_acl_allow_anyone=no`, thereby allowing folders to be spammed
to all users. (The impact was limited to being able to spam folders
to other users. No unexpected access is gained.)

CVE-2026-42006

An attacker can cause uncontrolled memory usage with excessive
bracing over IMAP. This stems from an incomplete fix for
CVE-2026-27857.

For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
1:2.3.13+dfsg1-2+deb11u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your dovecot packages.
