Updated dovecot packages that fix several bugs are now available.
Description
Dovecot is an IMAP server for Linux/UNIX-like systems, primarily written
with security in mind.
This erratum includes the following bug fixes, including additional

mails of other users in some rare conditions
All users of dovecot should upgrade to these updated packages, which
