[slackware-security]  dovecot (SSA:2024-227-01)

New dovecot packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix security issues.


Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/dovecot-2.3.21.1-i586-1_slack15.0.txz:  Upgraded.
  This update fixes security issues:
  A large number of address headers in email resulted in excessive CPU usage.
  Abnormally large email headers are now truncated or discarded, with a limit
  of 10MB on a single header and 50MB for all the headers of all the parts of
  an email.
  For more information, see:
    https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-23184
    https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-23185
  (* Security fix *)
