Hi! We're sharing our latest advisory with you and like to thank everyone who contributed in finding and solving those vulnerabilities. This advisory will also be published at https://documentation.open-xchange.com/dovecot/security/advisories/html/2026... --- Classification: TLP:GREEN Internal reference: DOV-8476 Type: CWE-403 (Exposure of File Descriptor to Unintended Control Sphere ('File Descriptor Leak')) Component: core Report confidence: Confirmed Solution status: Fixed by vendor Affected versions: OX Dovecot Pro core >=2.3.0 <2.3.22.2, OX Dovecot Pro core >=3.0.0 <3.0.7, OX Dovecot Pro core >=3.1.0 <3.1.6, OX Dovecot CE core >=2.3.0 <2.4.5 First fixed revision: OX Dovecot Pro core 3.0.7, OX Dovecot Pro core 2.3.22.2, OX Dovecot Pro core 3.1.6, OX Dovecot CE core 2.4.5 Discovery date: 2025-11-25 Solution date: 2026-08-26 Disclosure date: 2026-08-26 CVE: CVE-2026-33263 CVSS: 4.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L) Details: submission-login: Panic when mail_max_userip_connections is reached: Panic: epoll_ctl(del, 8) failed: Bad file descriptor. When mail_max_userip_connections is set (defaul t 10) and reached, submission-login can crash with epoll() panic caused by file descriptor handling issues. Risk: If running in high-security mode (default for community releases), only the new submission connection gets terminated. If running in high-performance mode (default for Pr o releases), all connections handled by the submission-login process will be terminated. The crashes can cause failure for user to send a message, or it can cause duplica te messages to be sent. If TLS is not used (in the backend server processing the submission), duplicate deliveries cannot happen, because the crash can only happen at AUT H stage. No publicly available exploits are known. Solution: Limit the number of connections handled by single submission-login process. This has a performance impact though. Update to non-vulnerable version. --- Internal reference: DOV-8874 Type: CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption) Component: core Report confidence: Confirmed Solution status: Fixed by vendor Affected versions: OX Dovecot Pro core >=2.3.0 <3.0.7, OX Dovecot Pro core >=3.1.0 <3.1.6, OX Dovecot CE core >=2.3.0 <2.4.5 First fixed revision: OX Dovecot Pro core 3.0.7, OX Dovecot Pro core 3.1.6, OX Dovecot CE core 2.4.5 Discovery date: 2026-03-11 Solution date: 2026-08-26 Disclosure date: 2026-08-26 Researcher credits: ylwango613@yeswehack CVE: CVE-2026-33607 CVSS: 4.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L) Details: Dovecot IMAP LIST match_sub() Exponential Backtracking — CPU Denial of Service.

An attacker that can send mail to a user can craft a message whose headers contain a very large number of email addresses or MIME par ameters, which causes excessive memory usage when the message is later parsed. Risk: The message is still delivered, but reading it over IMAP can exhaust the memory limit of the process and terminate it, causing denial of service for the affected user. No publicly available exploits are known. Solution: Update to non-vulnerable version. --- Internal reference: DOV-8941 Type: CWE-93 (Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences ('CRLF Injection')) Component: core Report confidence: Confirmed Solution status: Fixed by vendor Affected versions: OX Dovecot Pro core >=2.3.0 <2.3.22.2, OX Dovecot Pro core >=3.0.0 <3.0.7, OX Dovecot Pro core >=3.1.0 <3.1.6, OX Dovecot CE core >=2.3.0 <2.4.5 First fixed revision: OX Dovecot Pro core 3.0.7, OX Dovecot Pro core 2.3.22.2, OX Dovecot Pro core 3.1.6, OX Dovecot CE core 2.4.5 Discovery date: 2026-03-24 Solution date: 2026-08-26 Disclosure date: 2026-08-26 Researcher credits: thanos_haruki@yeswehack CVE: CVE-2026-33606 CVSS: 4.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) Details: dsync: Mail content can cause dsync protocol injection. Mail content stored by a user can be crafted so that it is interpreted as dsync protocol commands when an administ rator later runs dsync with the stream protocol, for example during a migration. Risk: Injected commands can modify mailbox state on the destination during migration or replication, including internal mailbox attributes that a user should not be able to set directly. It can also cause dsync errors. No publicly available exploits are known. Solution: Avoid running dsync with the stream protocol on mailboxes with untrusted content. Update to non-vulnerable version. --- Internal reference: DOV-8947 Type: CWE-655 (Insufficient Psychological Acceptability) Component: core Report confidence: Confirmed Solution status: Fixed by vendor Affected versions: OX Dovecot Pro core >=2.3.0 <2.3.22.2, OX Dovecot Pro core >=3.0.0 <3.0.7, OX Dovecot Pro core >=3.1.0 <3.1.6, OX Dovecot CE core >=2.3.0 <2.4.5 First fixed revision: OX Dovecot Pro core 3.0.7, OX Dovecot Pro core 2.3.22.2, OX Dovecot Pro core 3.1.6, OX Dovecot CE core 2.4.5 Discovery date: 2026-03-24 Solution date: 2026-08-26 Disclosure date: 2026-08-26 Researcher credits: heckintosh@yeswehack CVE: CVE-2026-33604 CVSS: 5.9 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N) Details: SMTP Smuggling via Missing Dot-Stuffing After Bare Carriage Return. An attacker that can get Dovecot to relay a message, for example through Sieve redirect or submission relay, can use a crafted line ending in the message body to bypass the outbound protection that prevents message content from being interpreted as SMTP commands. Risk: A downstream mail server that hasn't yet fixed the SMTP smuggling vulnerability can be tricked into treating part of the message body as new SMTP commands, allowing injec tion of spoofed email. This is the same vulnerability class as CVE-2023-51764 and CVE-2023-51766. No publicly available exploits are known. Solution: Where you control the receiving mail servers, ensure they reject bare carriage returns in message data.

An attacker that can send mail to a user can craft a message header whose va lues are chosen to collide in an internal hash table, which makes the IMAP THREAD command consume CPU disproportionate to the size of the message. This is a separate issu e from CVE-2026-40014 and is not addressed by that fix. Risk: Whenever a mail client issues a THREAD command on the affected mailbox, this can cause degradation or denial of service for IMAP. No publicly available exploits are known . Solution: Monitor system for abnormal CPU usage, kill the offending process and remove the offending message from the affected mailbox.

When IMAP compression is enabled, the same compression state is reused across re sponses in a session, so response sizes depend on both attacker-supplied mail and other mail in the same mailbox. Risk: An attacker that can send mail to a user and can also observe the sizes of that user's IMAP traffic can confirm whether the body of a small message matches a guessed text . Recovery of arbitrary unknown content was not demonstrated, but the attack can disclose whether a secret-like message body matches a candidate. No publicly available ex ploits are known.

An attacker that holds an OAuth2 token granting only part of the required scopes can au thenticate, because when more than one scope is required in the configuration, the remote token validation paths accept a token that carries only one of them, while the l ocal token validation path correctly requires all of them. Risk: The configured authorization policy is not enforced, so a token that was granted only part of the required permissions is accepted where it should have been rejected. No publicly available exploits are known. Solution: Use local token validation where tokens can be validated locally.

Sieve CPU resource usage is tracked in the compiled script, so an attacker that has valid credentials can r eset the accounting by repeatedly changing the active script. Compiled script files are also not removed when a script is deleted or renamed. Risk: The configured Sieve CPU limit can be bypassed, allowing sustained CPU consumption, and the leftover files increase disk consumption. Both can cause degradation of servic e for mail delivery. No publicly available exploits are known. Solution: Monitor system for abnormal CPU usage and disk consumption. Update to non-vulnerable version. --- Internal reference: DOV-9230 Type: CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor) Component: core Report confidence: Confirmed Solution status: Fixed by vendor Affected versions: OX Dovecot Pro core >=2.3.0 <3.1.6, OX Dovecot CE core >=2.3.0 <2.4.5 First fixed revision: OX Dovecot Pro core 3.1.6, OX Dovecot CE core 2.4.5 Discovery date: 2026-05-06 Solution date: 2026-08-26 Disclosure date: 2026-08-26 Researcher credits: djvirus@yeswehack CVE: CVE-2026-42392 CVSS: 4.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) Details: imap-urlauth leaks memory into user-visible error messages. An attacker that has valid credentials can send an invalid IMAP URLFETCH command, which causes uninitialized m emory to be included in the error response returned to the client. Risk: Process memory contents can be disclosed to the client, which may include sensitive data. No publicly available exploits are known. Solution: Disable the IMAP URLAUTH functionality. Update to non-vulnerable version. --- Internal reference: DOV-9309 Type: CWE-287 (Improper Authentication) Component: core Report confidence: Confirmed Solution status: Fixed by vendor Affected versions: OX Dovecot Pro core >=2.3.13 <2.3.22.2, OX Dovecot Pro core >=3.0.0 <3.0.7, OX Dovecot Pro core >=3.1.0 <3.1.6, OX Dovecot CE core >=2.3.13 <2.4.5 First fixed revision: OX Dovecot Pro core 3.0.7, OX Dovecot Pro core 2.3.22.2, OX Dovecot Pro core 3.1.6, OX Dovecot CE core 2.4.5 Discovery date: 2026-05-28 Solution date: 2026-08-26 Disclosure date: 2026-08-26 CVE: CVE-2026-73208 CVSS: 7.4 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N) Details: auth: db-oauth2: aud claim used as fallback for missing scope claim. An attacker that holds a token intended for a different purpose can authenticate, because when an OAu th2 token response does not contain a scope claim, the audience claim is used in its place and checked against the configured required scopes. These are different concept s, and the audience claim does not describe what a token is allowed to do. Risk: A token that grants no relevant permissions can be accepted because its intended recipient value happens to match a configured scope name, granting access that should hav e been denied. It also hides an identity provider misconfiguration where scopes are not being issued at all. No publicly available exploits are known. Solution: Ensure the identity provider issues a scope claim for all tokens used with Dovecot, and that configured scope names do not match audience values. Update to non-vulnerable version. --- Internal reference: DOV-9401 Type: CWE-674 (Uncontrolled Recursion) Component: core Report confidence: Confirmed Solution status: Fixed by vendor Affected versions: OX Dovecot Pro core >=2.3.0 <2.3.22.2, OX Dovecot Pro core >=3.0.0 <3.0.7, OX Dovecot Pro core >=3.1.0 <3.1.6, OX Dovecot CE core >=2.3.0 <2.4.5 First fixed revision: OX Dovecot Pro core 3.0.7, OX Dovecot Pro core 2.3.22.2, OX Dovecot Pro core 3.1.6, OX Dovecot CE core 2.4.5 Discovery date: 2026-06-10 Solution date: 2026-08-26 Disclosure date: 2026-08-26 CVE: CVE-2026-73209 CVSS: 6.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) Details: imap-login crash: Self-recursion on zero-output decompress chunks. An attacker that has valid credentials can send crafted compressed data that causes the affected proces s to exhaust its stack and crash. Risk: The affected process is terminated, which can cause degradation or denial of service for IMAP. No publicly available exploits are known.

An unauthenticated attacker can send an IMAP ID command with a very large number of parameters before logging in, which causes memory and CPU usage to grow disproportionately. Risk: The login process can be terminated by the out-of-memory handling, which also terminates all other connections handled by the same process. This can cause degradation or denial of service for IMAP logins. No publicly available exploits are known. Solution: Limit the number of connections handled by a single imap-login process. This has a performance impact though.

An attacker that has valid credentials can select a compression algorithm for the IMAP connection whose decompressio n state requires a large amount of memory, and open several such connections. Risk: The memory limit of the process is reached with only a few connections, terminating the process and all connections it handles, which can cause degradation or denial of s ervice for IMAP. No publicly available exploits are known. Solution: Disable IMAP compression. Alternatively limit the number of connections handled by a single imap-login process, though this has a performance impact. Update to non-vulner able version.
