Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-14461 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Debian Debian Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-14461/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-14461/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-14461","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-14461/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-14461","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2017-14461","CLSA-2026-1781102465","DEBIAN-CVE-2017-14461","GHSA-r34f-p748-2x25","SUSE-SU-2018:1125-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2017-14461"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Dovecot IMAP/POP3 server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A specially crafted email can trigger an out-of-bounds read in Dovecot, leading to sensitive information disclosure and denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"talos","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"dovecot","vendor":"dovecot"},{"product":"ubuntu","vendor":"ubuntu"}],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"},{"id":"CWE-125","name":"Out-of-bounds Read"}],"description":"A specially crafted email delivered over SMTP and passed on to Dovecot by MTA can trigger an out of bounds read resulting in potential sensitive information disclosure and denial of service.
