Description Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2019-08-28 15:52:13 UTC 
This sounds it could become very severe if someone publishes an exploit:
https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2019/08/28/3

Please bump, 2.3.7.2 and 2.2.36.4 contain the fix.
Comment 1 Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2019-08-28 16:38:36 UTC 
Pigeonhole is also affected (gets installed with dovecot with USE="sieve"), fix is in 0.5.7.2:

Comment 2 Hank Leininger 2019-08-28 17:33:28 UTC 
FWIW, bumping ebuild to 2.3.7.2 built & running fine here with no other changes.

I do not use sieve so cannot comment on it.
Comment 3 Christian Hoffmann 2019-08-28 18:59:46 UTC 
This is CVE-2019-11500 according to the oss-sec report.

Confirming that bumping to dovecot-2.3.7.2 with sieve_version=0.5.7.2 builds and runs on amd64. Sieve-based filtering still works.
