CVE-2014-3430: Dovecot 1.1 before 2.2.13 and dovecot-ee before 2.1.7.7 and 2.2.x before 2.2.12.12 does not properly close...

Dovecot 1.1 before 2.2.13 and dovecot-ee before 2.1.7.7 and 2.2.x before 2.2.12.12 does not properly close old connections, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via an incomplete SSL/TLS handshake for an IMAP/POP3 connection.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw can let a remote party tie up Dovecot mail-server resources by leaving SSL/TLS handshakes incomplete on IMAP or POP3. The likely impact is email service slowdown or outage, not data theft or code execution based on the provided sources. Exposure is most likely on internet-facing IMAP or POP3 services running affected Dovecot or Dovecot EE versions, including distribution packages not updated through vendor advisories. Prioritize remediation for public mail infrastructure because exploitation could disrupt email availability. Treat it below code-execution flaws unless email uptime is mission-critical or exposed systems remain unpatched. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Dovecot to 2.2.13 or a vendor-fixed distribution package.; For Dovecot EE, upgrade to the fixed versions listed by vendor guidance.; Apply Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat, Oracle, Mageia, or Mandriva advisories where relevant..
