The problems have been fixed upstream in version 2.3.10.1.

Description
===========
- CVE-2020-10957 (denial of service)
A NULL-pointer dereference issue has been found in Dovecot before
2.3.10.1 in the lmtp/submission component. A client can crash the
server by sending a NOOP command with an invalid string parameter. This
occurs particularly for a parameter that doesn't start with a double
quote. This applies to all SMTP services, including submission-login,
which makes it possible to crash the submission service without
authentication.
- CVE-2020-10958 (arbitrary code execution)
A security issue has been found in Dovecot before 2.3.10.1 in the
lmtp/submission component. Sending many invalid or unknown commands can
cause the server to access freed memory, which can lead to a server
crash. This happens when the server closes the connection with a "421
Too many invalid commands" error. The bad command limit depends on the
service (lmtp or submission) and varies between 10 to 20 bad commands.
- CVE-2020-10967 (denial of service)
A security issue has been found in Dovecot before 2.3.10.1 in the
lmtp/submission component. An authenticated attacker could send an
e-mail via the submission service with empty quoted localpart which
would cause the submission or lmtp component to crash. An
unauthenticated attacker could send an e-mail with a bad sender or
recipient address, causing the e-mail to be passed to LMTP for delivery
and then crash the LMTP component unless some kind of filtering has
been set up on the MTA level.
Impact
======
A remote, unauthenticated attacker can crash the server, causing a
denial of service. Under certain circumstances it might be possible for
a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected host.
