kopano-core/kopano-ical 11.0.1.143: Remote DoS with resource exhaustion (no CVE number requested)
kopano-core/kopano-ical 11.0.1.77: Remote DoS with out-of-bounds access (no CVE number requested; fixed)

libical suffers from an infinite loop; sending a crafted email to kopano-dagent (repeatedly, one for each thread) could maybe lead to a denial of service.
