bug report: Dovecot CVE September 28, 2026聽#4810

Description

@holderl5

馃摑 Preliminary Checks

  • I tried searching for an existing issue and followed the debugging docs advice, but still need assistance.
  • I will disclose any AI assistance I have used with the information I provide in my report, so that I do not waste the time of humans trying to help me.

馃憖 What Happened?

Because there is a full distro inside the docker container, I tried to open a shell and run apt-get upgrade to update my system until a new docker container image is published, however, doing that this time got me some sort of version mismatch:

Error: imap settings: Failed to parse configuration: settings struct imap #11 key mismatch imap_compress_on_proxy != mail_utf8_extensions

Just making sure everyone is aware of this.
