Synopsis

Description

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

 - In Dovecot before 2.2.36.4 and 2.3.x before 2.3.7.2 (and Pigeonhole before 0.5.7.2), protocol processing can fail for quoted strings. This occurs because '\0' characters are mishandled, and can lead to out-of-bounds writes and remote code execution.(CVE-2019-11500)
