Ubuntu Security Notice 4993-1 - Kirin discovered that Dovecot incorrectly escaped kid and azp fields in JWT tokens. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to validate tokens using arbitrary keys. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.10 and Ubuntu 21.04. Fabian Ising and Damian Poddebniak discovered that Dovecot incorrectly handled STARTTLS when using the SMTP submission service. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to inject plaintext commands before STARTTLS negotiation. Various other issues were also addressed.
