NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dovecot package and not the dovecot package as distributed by Ubuntu.

In Dovecot before 2.3.9.2, an attacker can crash a push-notification driver with a crafted email when push notifications are used, because of a NULL Pointer Dereference. The email must use a group address as either the sender or the recipient.
