Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2016-bb22a24d3d
2016-12-22 02:23:18.166499
——————————————————————————–

Name : dovecot
Product : Fedora 24
Version : 2.2.27
Release : 1.fc24
URL : http://www.dovecot.org/
Summary : Secure imap and pop3 server
Description :
Dovecot is an IMAP server for Linux/UNIX-like systems, written with security
primarily in mind. It also contains a small POP3 server. It supports mail
in either of maildir or mbox formats.

The SQL drivers and authentication plug-ins are in their subpackages.

Update Information:

– Fixed crash in auth process when auth-policy was configured and authentication
was aborted/failed without a username set. – director: If two users had
different tags but the same hash, the users may have been redirected to the
wrong tag’s hosts. – Index files may have been thought incorrectly lost, causing
“Missing middle file seq=..” to be logged and index rebuild. This happened more
easily with IMAP hibernation enabled. – Various fixes to restoring state
correctly in un-hibernation. – dovecot.index files were commonly 4 bytes per
email too large. This is because 3 bytes per email were being wasted that could
have been used for IMAP keywords. – Various fixes to handle dovecot.list.index
corruption better. – lib-fts: Fixed assert-crash in address tokenizer with
specific input. – Fixed assert-crash in HTML to text parsing with specific input
(e.g. for FTS indexing or snippet generation) – doveadm sync -1: Fixed handling
mailbox GUID conflicts. – sdbox, mdbox: Perform full index rebuild if corruption
is detected inside lib-index, which runs index fsck. – quota: Don’t skip quota
checks when moving mails between different quota roots. – search: Multiple
sequence sets or UID sets in search parameters weren’t handled correctly. They
were incorrectly merged together.
