Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-1901-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'dovecot' package(s) announced via the DLA-1901-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'dovecot' package(s) announced via the DLA-1901-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Nick Roessler and Rafi Rubin discovered that the IMAP and ManageSieve protocol parsers in the Dovecot email server do not properly validate input (both pre- and post-login). A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to trigger out of bounds heap memory writes, leading to information leaks or potentially the execution of arbitrary code. For Debian 8 Jessie, this problem has been fixed in version 1:2.2.13-12~ deb8u7. We recommend that you upgrade your dovecot packages.

Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
