Synopsis

The remote Slackware Linux host is missing a security update to dovecot.

Description

The version of dovecot installed on the remote host is prior to 2.3.21.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2024-227-01 advisory.

 New dovecot packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to fix security issues.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the dovecot security advisory.
