Published: 08/28/2026 (08/28/2026, 10:12:13 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: Open-Xchange GmbH
Product: OX Dovecot Pro

Description

An unauthenticated attacker can crash the ManageSieve login process by sending a small malformed command before authenticating. If running in high-security mode (default for community releases), only the attacker's own connection is terminated. If running in high-performance mode (default for Pro releases), all connections handled by the same managesieve-login process are terminated. Repeating the attack can cause denial of service for Sieve script management. Restrict network access to the ManageSieve service to trusted clients. Update to non-vulnerable version. No publicly available exploits are known.
