An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-11499 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Dovecot Dovecot. 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-2019-11499/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-11499/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-11499","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-11499/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-11499","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2019-11499","DEBIAN-CVE-2019-11499","GHSA-v7jr-wfqh-v962"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Dovecot IMAP server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can crash the Dovecot submission-login component by sending a malformed AUTH PLAIN message over TLS, causing a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"dovecot","vendor":"dovecot"},{"product":"fedora","vendor":"fedoraproject"},{"product":"leap","vendor":"opensuse"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the IMAP Server in Dovecot 2.3.3 through 2.3.5.2, the submission-login component crashes if AUTH PLAIN is attempted over a TLS secured channel with an unacceptable authentication message.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-11499","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"dovecot:dovecot","products":["dovecot:dovecot","fedoraproject:fedora","opensuse:leap"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2019"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-11500"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-11498"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2019-05-08","related":[{"cvss_score":7.7,"headline":"Auth bypass in OX Dovecot Pro","id":"CVE-2026-24031","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-27"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in OX Dovecot Pro","id":"CVE-2025-59032","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-27"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in OX Dovecot Pro","id":"CVE-2026-27858","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-27"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-29157","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-06-28"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-10957","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-18"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-7046","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-12"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-11494","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-05-08"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An attacker can crash the Dovecot submission-login component by sending a malformed AUTH PLAIN message over TLS, causing a denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-11499/"}
