EulerOS 2.0 SP5 : dovecot (EulerOS-SA-2019-1280)

high Nessus Plugin ID 124376

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the dovecot packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - It was discovered that Dovecot incorrectly handled client certificates. A remote attacker in possession of a valid certificate with an empty username field could possibly use this issue to impersonate other users.(CVE-2019-3814)

 - In Dovecot before 2.2.36.3 and 2.3.x before 2.3.5.1, a local attacker can cause a buffer overflow in the indexer-worker process, which can be used to elevate to root. This occurs because of missing checks in the fts and pop3-uidl components.(CVE-2019-7524)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected dovecot packages.
