Local Packages

  • Updated dovecot to 2.3.10.1:

    • CVE-2020-10957: lmtp/submission: A client can crash the server by sending a NOOP command with an invalid string parameter

      • This occurs particularly for a parameter that doesn't start with a double quote
      • This applies to all SMTP services, including submission-login, which makes it possible to crash the submission service without authentication

    • CVE-2020-10958: lmtp/submission: Sending many invalid or unknown commands can cause the server to access freed memory, which can lead to a server crash

      • This happens when the server closes the connection with a "421 Too many invalid commands" error; the bad command limit depends on the service (lmtp or submission) and varies between 10 to 20 bad commands

    • CVE-2020-10967: lmtp/submission: Issuing the RCPT command with an address that has the empty quoted string as local-part causes the lmtp service to crash

  • Updated nmap (7.80) not to assert-crash on unsolicited ARP response (Bug #1836989)

  • Updated perl-Text-CSV_XS to 1.42 as per the Fedora version
