Slackware: 2024-227-01: dovecot Security Advisory Update
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/dovecot-2.3.21.1-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes security issues: A large number of address headers in email resulted in excessive CPU usage. Abnormally large email headers are now truncated or discarded, with a limit of 10MB on a single header and 50MB for all the headers of all the parts of an email. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-23184 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-23185 (* Security fix *)
