Hi Dovecot maintainers,
CVE-2011-1929 was assigned to the following issue fixed in
1.2.17 and 2.0.13:

| Fixed potential crashes and other problems when parsing
| header names that contained NUL characters.

Patch:
http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.1/rev/3698dfe0f21c

Could you contact upstream wrt the exact impact? What is
being crashed here, can someone only crash a delivery
thread or can the whole IMAP server be crashed through
malformed mail messages? In the latter case we should
release a DSA.

Cheers,
        Moritz
