Title:	CentOS Update for dovecot CESA-2014:0790 centos6
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'dovecot'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'dovecot' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Dovecot is an IMAP server, written with security primarily in mind, for Linux and other UNIX-like systems. It also contains a small POP3 server. It supports mail in both the maildir or mbox format. The SQL drivers and authentication plug-ins are provided as subpackages. It was discovered that Dovecot did not properly discard connections trapped in the SSL/TLS handshake phase. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service on an IMAP/POP3 server by exhausting the pool of available connections and preventing further, legitimate connections to the IMAP/POP3 server to be made. (CVE-2014-3430) All dovecot users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the updated packages, the dovecot service will be restarted automatically. Affected Software/OS: dovecot on CentOS 6 Solution: Please install the updated packages. CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
