FreeBSD : Dovecot -- DoS (6a6ad6cb-5c6c-11ef-b456-001e676bf734)

high Nessus Plugin ID 205752

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 6a6ad6cb-5c6c-11ef-b456-001e676bf734 advisory.

 Dovecot reports:
 A DoS is possible with a large number of address headers or abnormally large email headers.

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
