Name : dovecot
Product : Fedora 31
Version : 2.3.10.1
Release : 1.fc31
URL :   http://www.dovecot.org/
Summary : Secure imap and pop3 server
Description :
Dovecot is an IMAP server for Linux/UNIX-like systems, written with security
primarily in mind. It also contains a small POP3 server. It supports mail
in either of maildir or mbox formats.

The SQL drivers and authentication plug-ins are in their subpackages.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

- CVE-2020-10957: lmtp/submission: A client can crash the server by sending a
NOOP command with an invalid string parameter. This occurs particularly for a
parameter that doesn't start with a double quote. This applies to all SMTP
services, including submission-login, which makes it possible to crash the
submission service without authentication. - CVE-2020-10958: lmtp/submission:
Sending many invalid or unknown commands can cause the server to access freed
memory, which can lead to a server crash. This happens when the server closes
the connection with a "421 Too many invalid commands" error. The bad command
limit depends on the service (lmtp or submission) and varies between 10 to
20 bad commands. - CVE-2020-10967: lmtp/submission: Issuing the RCPT command
with an address that has the empty quoted string as local-part causes the
lmtp service to crash.
