    Package        : dovecot     CVE ID         : CVE-2024-23184 CVE-2024-23185

    Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in the IMAP implementation of     the Dovecot mail server: Excessive numbers of address headers or very     large headers can result in high CPU usage, leading to denial of     service.

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in     version 1:2.3.19.1+dfsg1-2.1+deb12u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your dovecot packages.

    For the detailed security status of dovecot please refer to     its security tracker page at:
