- CVE-2020-10957: lmtp/submission: A client can crash the server by sending a NOOP command with an invalid string parameter

Summary

Dovecot is an IMAP server for Linux/UNIX-like systems, written with security

primarily in mind. It also contains a small POP3 server. It supports mail

in either of maildir or mbox formats.

The SQL drivers and authentication plug-ins are in their subpackages.

- CVE-2020-10957: lmtp/submission: A client can crash the server by sending a

NOOP command with an invalid string parameter. This occurs particularly for a

parameter that doesn't start with a double quote. This applies to all SMTP

services, including submission-login, which makes it possible to crash the

submission service without authentication. - CVE-2020-10958: lmtp/submission:

Sending many invalid or unknown commands can cause the server to access freed

memory, which can lead to a server crash. This happens when the server closes

the connection with a "421 Too many invalid commands" error. The bad command

limit depends on the service (lmtp or submission) and varies between 10 to

20 bad commands. - CVE-2020-10967: lmtp/submission: Issuing the RCPT command

with an address that has the empty quoted string as local-part causes the

lmtp service to crash. ---- dovecot updated to 2.3.10
