An attacker that has valid credentials can use IMAP LIST command to consume CPU. This can cause degradation or denial of service for IMAP. Monitor system for abnormal CPU usage and kill the offending process and lock account. Alternatively install fixed version. No publicly available exploits are known.
A flaw was found in Dovecot. An authenticated attacker can exploit a vulnerability in the IMAP LIST command to consume excessive CPU resources. This can lead to a degradation of service or a complete denial of service (DoS) for the IMAP server, impacting the availability of email services.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, restrict access to the Dovecot IMAP service to trusted networks or localhost using firewall rules or Dovecot's configuration. Additionally, implement system monitoring for abnormal CPU utilization by Dovecot processes to detect and respond to potential exploitation attempts. If network configuration changes are applied, a restart of the Dovecot service may be required.
