Package : dovecot
Version : 1:2.2.27-3+deb9u6
CVE ID : CVE-2020-12100 CVE-2020-12673 CVE-2020-12674
Debian Bug : 968302
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 Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version
1:2.2.27-3+deb9u6.
We recommend that you upgrade your dovecot packages.
