dovecot

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2021-33515, CVE-2022-30550.

More information:

Two security issues were discovered in dovecot: IMAP and POP3 email server.

• CVE-2021-33515

  The submission service in Dovecot before 2.3.15 allows STARTTLS command injection in lib-smtp. Sensitive information can be redirected to an attacker-controlled address.

• CVE-2022-30550

  When two passdb configuration entries exist with the same driver and args settings, incorrectly applied settings can lead to an unintended security configuration and can permit privilege escalation in certain configurations.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 1:2.3.4.1-5+deb10u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your dovecot packages.
