Pardus Linux Security Advisory 2008-64 security@pardus.org.tr
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 2008-11-07
Severity: 2
Type: Remote
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary
=======

The invalid message address parsing bug is pretty important since it
allows a remote user to send broken mail headers and prevent the
recipient from accessing the mailbox afterwards, because the process
will always just crash trying to parse the header.


Description
===========

This is assuming that the IMAP client uses FETCH ENVELOPE command, not
all do.


Affected packages:

Pardus 2008:
dovecot, all before 1.1.6-18-3


Resolution
==========

There are update(s) for dovecot. You can update them via Package Manager
or with a single command from console:

pisi up dovecot
