Dovecot v2.3.11.3 released
by Aki Tuomi 12 Aug '20

12 Aug '20

We are pleased to release v2.3.11.3. Please find it from locations below: https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.11.3.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.11.3.tar.gz.sig Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy --- * CVE-2020-12100: Parsing mails with a large number of MIME parts could have resulted in excessive CPU usage or a crash due to running out of stack memory. * CVE-2020-12673: Dovecot's NTLM implementation does not correctly check message buffer size, which leads to reading past allocation which can lead to crash. * CVE-2020-10967: lmtp/submission: Issuing the RCPT command with an address that has the empty quoted string as local-part causes the lmtp service to crash. * CVE-2020-12674: Dovecot's RPA mechanism implementation accepts zero-length message, which leads to assert-crash later on. * Events: Fix inconsistency in events. See event documentation in https://doc.dovecot.org. * imap_command_finished event's cmd_name field now contains "unknown" for unknown commands. A new "cmd_input_name" field contains the command name exactly as it was sent. * lib-index: Renamed mail_cache_compress_* settings to mail_cache_purge_*. Note that these settings are mainly intended for testing and usually shouldn't be changed. * events: Renamed "index" event category to "mail-index". * events: service:<name> category is now using the name from configuration file. * dns-client: service dns_client was renamed to dns-client. * log: Prefixes generally use the service name from configuration file. For example dict-async service will now use "dict-async(pid): " log prefix instead of "dict(pid): " * *-login: Changed logging done by proxying to use a consistent prefix containing the IP address and port. * *-login: Changed disconnection log messages to be slightly clearer. + dict: Add events for dictionaries. + lib-index: Finish logging with events. + oauth2: Support local validation of JWT tokens. + stats: Add support for dynamic histograms and grouping. See https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/stats/. + imap: Implement RFC 8514: IMAP SAVEDATE + lib-index: If a long-running transaction (e.g. SORT/FETCH on a huge folder) adds a lot of data to dovecot.index.cache file, commit those changes periodically to make them visible to other concurrent sessions as well. + stats: Add OpenMetrics exporter for statistics. See https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/stats/openmetrics/. + stats: Support disabling stats-writer socket by setting stats_writer_socket_path="". - auth-worker: Process keeps slowly increasing its memory usage and eventually dies with "out of memory" due to reaching vsz_limit. - auth: Prevent potential timing attacks in authentication secret comparisons: OAUTH2 JWT-token HMAC, imap-urlauth token, crypt() result. - auth: Several auth-mechanisms allowed input to be truncated by NUL which can potentially lead to unintentional issues or even successful logins which should have failed. - auth: When auth policy returned a delay, auth_request_finished event had policy_result=ok field instead of policy_result=delayed. - auth: auth process crash when auth_policy_server_url is set to an invalid URL. - auth: Lua passdb/userdb leaks stack elements per call, eventually causing the stack to become too deep and crashing the auth or auth-worker process. - dict-ldap: Crash occurs if var_expand template expansion fails. - dict: If dict client disconnected while iteration was still running, dict process could have started using 100% CPU, although it was still handling clients. - doveadm: Running doveadm commands via proxying may hang, especially when doveadm is printing a lot of output. - imap: "MOVE * destfolder" goes to a loop copying the last mail to the destination until the imap process dies due to running out of memory. - imap: Running "UID MOVE 1:* Trash" on an empty folder goes to infinite loop. - imap: SEARCH doesn't support $. - lib-compress: Buffer over-read in zlib stream read. - lib-dns: If DNS lookup times out, lib-dns can cause crash in calling process. - lib-index: Fixed several bugs in dovecot.index.cache handling that could have caused cached data to be lost. - lib-index: Writing to >=1 GB dovecot.index.cache files may cause assert-crashes: Panic: file mail-index-util.c: line 37 (mail_index_uint32_to_offset): assertion failed: (offset < 0x40000000) - lib-mail: v2.3.11 regression: MIME parts not returned correctly by Dovecot MIME parser. - lib-ssl-iostream: Fix buggy OpenSSL error handling without assert-crashing. If there is no error available, log it as an error instead of crashing: Panic: file iostream-openssl.c: line 599 (openssl_iostream_handle_error): assertion failed: (errno != 0) - lib-ssl-iostream: ssl_key_password setting did not work. - pop3-login: Login didn't handle commands in multiple IP packets properly. This mainly affected large XCLIENT commands or a large SASL initial response parameter in the AUTH command. - pop3: pop3_deleted_flag setting was broken, causing: Panic: file seq-range-array.c: line 472 (seq_range_array_invert): assertion failed: (range[count-1].seq2 <= max_seq) - pop3-login: Login would fail with "Input buffer full" if the initial response for SASL was too long. - submission: A segfault crash may occur when the client or server disconnects while a non-transaction command like NOOP or VRFY is still being processed. - virtual: Copying/moving mails with IMAP into a virtual folder assert-crashes: Panic: file cmd-copy.c: line 152 (fetch_and_copy): assertion failed: (copy_ctx->copy_count == seq_range_count(&copy_ctx->saved_uids))

Pigeonhole 0.5.11 released
by Aki Tuomi 12 Aug '20

12 Aug '20

We are pleased to release pigeonhole 0.5.11. You can download it from locations below: https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.11-pigeonhole-0.5.1… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.11-pigeonhole-0.5.1… Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ Docker images in https://hub.docker.com/r/dovecot/dovecot Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy --- * managesieve: managesieve_max_line_length setting is now a "size" type instead of just number of bytes. This allows using e.g. "64k" as the value. - lib-sieve: When folding white space is used in the Message-ID header, it is not stripped away correctly before the message ID value is used, causing e.g. garbled log lines at delivery.

Multiple vulnerabilities in Dovecot
by Aki Tuomi 18 May '20

18 May '20

Dear subscribers, we are sending notifications for three vulnerabilities, - CVE-2020-10957 - CVE-2020-10958 - CVE-2020-10967 Please find them below --- Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange Oy ------------------ Open-Xchange Security Advisory 2020-05-18 Product: Dovecot Vendor: OX Software GmbH Internal reference: DOV-3784 Vulnerability type: NULL pointer dereference (CWE-476) Vulnerable version: 2.3.0 - 2.3.10 Vulnerable component: submission, lmtp Report confidence: Confirmed Solution status: Fixed by Vendor Fixed version: 2.3.10.1 Researcher credits: Philippe Antoine (Catena Cyber) Vendor notification: 2020-03-24 Solution date: 2020-04-02 Public disclosure: 2020-05-18 CVE reference: CVE-2020-10957 CVSS: 7.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) Vulnerability Details: Sending malformed NOOP command causes crash in submission, submission-login or lmtp service. Risk: Remote attacker can keep submission-login service down, causing denial of service attack. For lmtp the risk is neglible, as lmtp is usually behind a trusted MTA. Steps to reproduce: Send ``NOOP EE"FY`` to submission port, or similarly malformed command. Solution: Upgrade to fixed version. ------------------ Open-Xchange Security Advisory 2020-05-18 Product: Dovecot IMAP server Vendor: OX Software GmbH Internal reference: DOV-3875 Vulnerability type: Improper handling of input data (CWE-20) Vulnerable version: 2.3.0 - 2.3.10 Vulnerable component: submission, lmtp Report confidence: Confirmed Solution status: Fixed by Vendor Fixed version: 2.3.10.1 Researcher credits: Philippe Antoine (Catena Cyber) Vendor notification: 2020-03-23 Solution date: 2020-04-02 Public disclosure: 2020-05-18 CVE reference: CVE-2020-10958 CVSS: 5.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L) Vulnerability Details: Sending command followed by sufficient number of newlines triggers a use-after-free bug that might crash submission-login, submission or lmtp service. Risk: Remote attacker can keep submission-login service down, causing denial of service attack. For lmtp the risk is neglible, as lmtp is usually behind a trusted MTA. Steps to reproduce: This can be currently reproduced with ASAN or Valgrind. Reliable way to crash has not yet been discovered. Solution: Upgrade to fixed version. ------------------ Open-Xchange Security Advisory 2020-05-18 Product: Dovecot Vendor: OX Software GmbH Internal reference: DOV-1745 Vulnerability type: Improper input validation (CWE-20) Vulnerable version: 2.3.0 - 2.3.10 Vulnerable component: submission, lmtp Report confidence: Confirmed Solution status: Fixed by Vendor Fixed version: 2.3.10.1 Researcher credits: mailbox.org Vendor notification: 2020-03-20 Solution date: 2020-04-02 Public disclosure: 2020-05-18 CVE reference: CVE-2020-10967 CVSS: 5.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L) Vulnerability Details: Sending mail with empty quoted localpart causes submission or lmtp component to crash. Risk: Malicious actor can cause denial of service to mail delivery by repeatedly sending mails with bad sender or recipient address. Steps to reproduce: Send mail with envelope sender or recipient as ``<""@example.org>``. Workaround: For submission there is no workaround, but triggering the bug requires valid credentials. For lmtp, one can implement sufficient filtering on MTA level to prevent mails with such addresses from ending up in LMTP delivery. Solution: Upgrade to fixed version. ------------------
