Descriptions

The IMAP and LMTP components in Dovecot 2.3.9 before 2.3.9.3 mishandle snippet generation when many characters must be read to compute the snippet and a trailing > character exists. This causes a denial of service in which the recipient cannot read all of their messages.

Los plugins IMAP y LMTP en Dovecot versiones 2.3.9 anteriores a 2.3.9.3, manejan inapropiadamente la generación de fragmentos cuando se deben leer muchos caracteres para calcular el fragmento y existe un carácter ) al final. Esto provoca una denegación de servicio en la que el destinatario no puede leer todos sus mensajes.
