Synopsis
dovecot bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated dovecot packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
Dovecot is an IMAP server for Linux and other UNIX-like systems, primarily
written with security in mind. It also contains a small POP3 server. It supports
email in either the maildir or mbox format. The SQL drivers and authentication
plug-ins are provided as sub-packages.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, the dovecot package contained a bug in the LDAP-related code and
could get into an infinite loop when an LDAP connection was unstable, making it
impossible for users to log in and read emails. This update fixes the LDAP code
and dovecot now handles unstable connections with an LDAP server without
problems. (BZ#968377)
Users of dovecot are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to fix this bug. After installing the updated packages, the
dovecot service will be restarted automatically.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
