Synopsis
dovecot enhancement update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated dovecot package that adds enhancements is now available.
Description
Dovecot is an IMAP server for Linux and UNIX® operating systems, written
with security in mind.
This updated package adds the following enhancements:
- in the previous package, Dovecot was unable to recognize the SSHA digest.
This may have caused authentication problems if Dovecot was configured to
authenticate against an LDAP directory that used the SSHA digest. An
"Unknown password scheme SSHA" error may have occurred. In this updated
package, support for the SSHA digest has been added.
- the "ssl_cipher_list" option has been backported. This option is
configured in "dovecot.conf", and can be configured to prevent SSL and TLS
from allowing low encryption cipher-negotiations.
Users of dovecot are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
adds these enhancements.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
