There is no fixed version for RHEL:6 dovecot-pigeonhole.

NVD Description

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

It was discovered that Dovecot before versions 2.2.36.1 and 2.3.4.1 incorrectly handled client certificates. A remote attacker in possession of a valid certificate with an empty username field could possibly use this issue to impersonate other users.
