The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 4.06, has dovecot packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

  • In Dovecot before 2.2.36.4 and 2.3.x before 2.3.7.2 (and Pigeonhole before 0.5.7.2), protocol processing can fail for quoted strings. This occurs because ‘\0’ characters are mishandled, and can lead to out-of-bounds writes and remote code execution. (CVE-2019-11500)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
