Hi,
dovecot's message parser enters an endless loop when fed with certain multipart messages with stray CR characters.
parse_next_body_to_boundary() assumes the '\r' might be the beginning of a boundary line, reducing the block size by one:
src/lib-mail/message-parser.c: 404 /* no linefeeds in this block. we can just skip it. */ 405 ret = 0; 406 if (block_r->data[block_r->size-1] == '\r') { 407 /* this may be the beginning of the \r\n--boundary */ 408 block_r->size--; 409 }
For a block size of 1 (e.g. the trailing '\r' character), dovecot ends up processing zero-sized blocks, calling message_parser_read_more() without skipping the input stream:

You will find a sample message attached to this mail.
I have added a check to see if the parser is past the EOF (and omit reducing the block size then) as a band-aid fix, but this might call for a more elegant solution.
