EulerOS 2.0 SP3 : dovecot (EulerOS-SA-2019-2571)

high Nessus Plugin ID 132288

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 :

 - A denial of service flaw was found in dovecot before 2.2.34. An attacker able to generate random SNI server names could exploit TLS SNI configuration lookups, leading to excessive memory usage and the process to restart.(CVE-2017-15130)

 - A specially crafted email delivered over SMTP and passed on to Dovecot by MTA can trigger an out of bounds read resulting in potential sensitive information disclosure and denial of service. In order to trigger this vulnerability, an attacker needs to send a specially crafted email message to the server.(CVE-2017-14461)

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.
