[Bug 1235372] Re: managesieve skipping of CRLF at end of AUTHENTICATE command

[Robie Basak]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

I can see that this bug is not yet fixed in the current version of
dovecot in Ubuntu (1:2.1.7-7ubuntu2) but appears to be fixed in Debian
(1:2.1.17-2). So Ubuntu should pick up the fix in the next merge from
Debian, which I expect will happen in the T series.

If you'd like this issue fixed in existing stable releases, then the
policy, procedure and rationale is described here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates

Based on that policy, to update dovecot in a stable release to fix this
bug I think we'll need:

1) An understanding of the bug and its impact (rather than just the patch) to ensure that we don't inadvertently introduce any regressions.
2) This issue fixed in the development release (a merge as expected to happen anyway will do; but we're very close to freeze for Saucy now, so waiting for T to open after Saucy's release is probably more realistic).
