Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Dovecot, the worst of which
could allow remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service condition.

Background
==========

Dovecot is an open source IMAP and POP3 email server.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  net-mail/dovecot            < 2.3.11.3               >= 2.3.11.3

Description
===========

It was discovered that Dovecot incorrectly handled deeply nested MIME
parts, incorrectly handled memory when using NTLM, and incorrectly
handled zero-length messages.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could send a specially crafted mail or send specially
crafted authentication requests possibly resulting in a Denial of
Service condition.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All Dovecot users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-mail/dovecot-2.3.11.3"
