dovecot (SL6, SL7)

Synopsis: Moderate: dovecot security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2014:0790-1
Issue Date: 2014-06-25
CVE Numbers: CVE-2014-3430

It was discovered that Dovecot did not properly discard connections
trapped in the SSL/TLS handshake phase. A remote attacker could use this
flaw to cause a denial of service on an IMAP/POP3 server by exhausting the
pool of available connections and preventing further, legitimate
connections to the IMAP/POP3 server to be made. (CVE-2014-3430)

After installing the updated packages, the dovecot service will be
restarted automatically.
