following issues:

CVE-2017-14461

Aleksandar Nikolic of Cisco Talos and 'flxflndy' discovered that
Dovecot does not properly parse invalid email addresses, which may
cause a crash or leak memory contents to an attacker.

CVE-2017-15130

It was discovered that TLS SNI config lookups may lead to excessive
memory usage, causing imap-login/pop3-login VSZ limit to be reached
and the process restarted, resulting in a denial of service. Only
Dovecot configurations containing local_name { } or local { }
configuration blocks are affected.

CVE-2017-15132

It was discovered that Dovecot contains a memory leak flaw in the
login process on aborted SASL authentication.


For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
1:2.1.7-7+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your dovecot packages.

CVE ID : CVE-2018-1071 CVE-2018-1083
Debian Bug : 894044 894043

Two security vulnerabilities were discovered in the Z shell.

CVE-2018-1071
Stack-based buffer overflow in the exec.c:hashcmd() function.
A local attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service.

CVE-2018-1083
Buffer overflow in the shell autocomplete functionality. A local
unprivileged user can create a specially crafted directory path which
leads to code execution in the context of the user who tries to use
autocomplete to traverse the before mentioned path. If the user
affected is privileged, this leads to privilege escalation.

For Debian 7 "Wheezy", these problems have been fixed in version
4.3.17-1+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your zsh packages.
