Detail
Updated dovecot packages fix security vulnerability. Dovecot before 2.2.13 is vulnerable to a DoS attack against imap/pop3-login processes. If SSL/TLS handshake was started but wasn't finished, the login process attempted to eventually forcibly disconnect the client, but failed to do it correctly. This could have left the connections hanging around for a long time (CVE-2014-3430). |

Title: | RHSA-2014:0790: dovecot security update (Moderate) | ||
Description: | Dovecot is an IMAP server, written with security primarily in mind, for Linux and other UNIX-like systems. It also contains a small POP3 server. It supports mail in both the maildir or mbox format. The SQL drivers and authentication plug-ins are provided as subpackages. It was discovered that Dovecot did not properly discard connections trapped in the SSL/TLS handshake phase. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service on an IMAP/POP3 server by exhausting the pool of available connections and preventing further, legitimate connections to the IMAP/POP3 server to be made. (CVE-2014-3430) All dovecot users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the updated packages, the dovecot service will be restarted automatically. | ||
