The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - An issue was discovered in Dovecot before 2.3.13. By using IMAP IDLE, an authenticated attacker can     trigger unhibernation via attacker-controlled parameters, leading to access to other users' email messages     (and path disclosure). (CVE-2020-24386)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2021:1887 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in Dovecot before 2.3.13. By using IMAP IDLE, an authenticated attacker can     trigger unhibernation via attacker-controlled parameters, leading to access to other users' email messages     (and path disclosure). (CVE-2020-24386)

  - Dovecot before 2.3.13 has Improper Input Validation in lda, lmtp, and imap, leading to an application     crash via a crafted email message with certain choices for ten thousand MIME parts. (CVE-2020-25275)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALINUX3-SA-2022:0115 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2019-11500:
    In Dovecot before 2.2.36.4 and 2.3.x before 2.3.7.2 (and Pigeonhole before 0.5.7.2), protocol processing     can fail for quoted strings. This occurs because '\0' characters are mishandled, and can lead to out-of-     bounds writes and remote code execution.

    CVE-2019-3814:
    It was discovered that Dovecot before versions 2.2.36.1 and 2.3.4.1 incorrectly handled client     certificates. A remote attacker in possession of a valid certificate with an empty username field could     possibly use this issue to impersonate other users.

    CVE-2020-10957:
    In Dovecot before 2.3.10.1, unauthenticated sending of malformed parameters to a NOOP command causes a     NULL Pointer Dereference and crash in submission-login, submission, or lmtp.

    CVE-2020-10958:
    In Dovecot before 2.3.10.1, a crafted SMTP/LMTP message triggers an unauthenticated use-after-free bug in     submission-login, submission, or lmtp, and can lead to a crash under circumstances involving many newlines     after a command.

    CVE-2020-10967:
    In Dovecot before 2.3.10.1, remote unauthenticated attackers can crash the lmtp or submission process by     sending mail with an empty localpart.

    CVE-2020-12100:
    In Dovecot before 2.3.11.3, uncontrolled recursion in submission, lmtp, and lda allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a crafted e-mail message with deeply nested MIME     parts.

    CVE-2020-12673:
    In Dovecot before 2.3.11.3, sending a specially formatted NTLM request will crash the auth service because     of an out-of-bounds read.

    CVE-2020-12674:
    In Dovecot before 2.3.11.3, sending a specially formatted RPA request will crash the auth service because     a length of zero is mishandled.

    CVE-2020-24386:
    An issue was discovered in Dovecot before 2.3.13. By using IMAP IDLE, an authenticated attacker can     trigger unhibernation via attacker-controlled parameters, leading to access to other users' email messages     (and path disclosure).

    CVE-2020-25275:
    Dovecot before 2.3.13 has Improper Input Validation in lda, lmtp, and imap, leading to an application     crash via a crafted email message with certain choices for ten thousand MIME parts.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202101-01 (Dovecot: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Dovecot. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could send a specially crafted mail or send a       specially crafted IMAP command possibly resulting in a Denial of Service       condition or an authenticated remote attacker might be able to discover       the file system directory structure and access other users&rsquo; emails.
  Workaround :

    The information disclosure vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling       IMAP hibernation feature which isn&rsquo;t enabled by default.
