Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions SOGo version 2.3.7

Description A memory leak issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by consuming memory via a large number of attempts to upload a large attachment, related to temporary files.

Recommendations For SOGo version 2.3.7, consider restricting the size of attachments that can be uploaded to prevent excessive memory consumption until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, monitor system resources closely to detect and mitigate potential denial-of-service attacks.
