NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dovecot-pgsql package and not the dovecot-pgsql package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

An attacker that has valid credentials can submit a Sieve script containing an extreme numeric literal, which causes an out-of-bounds write when the ManageSieve service compiles the script. This causes memory corruption and an observed crash of the ManageSieve process, resulting in denial of service for script management. This might be able to be used for remote code execution. Disable the ManageSieve service if users do not need remote Sieve script management. Update to non-vulnerable version. No publicly available exploits are known.
