Detail

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the Sieve plugin in Dovecot 1.0 before 1.0.4 and 1.1 before 1.1.7, as derived from Cyrus libsieve, allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted SIEVE script, as demonstrated by forwarding an e-mail message to a large number of recipients, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-2632.

Title: USN-838-1 -- dovecot vulnerabilities
Description: It was discovered that the ACL plugin in Dovecot would incorrectly handle negative access rights. An attacker could exploit this flaw to access the Dovecot server, bypassing the indended access restrictions. This only affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. It was discovered that the ManageSieve service in Dovecot incorrectly handled ".." in script names. A remote attacker could exploit this to read and modify arbitrary sieve files on the server. This only affected Ubuntu 8.10. It was discovered that the Sieve plugin in Dovecot incorrectly handled certain sieve scripts. An authenticated user could exploit this with a crafted sieve script to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code

Title: DSA-1892-1 dovecot - arbitrary code execution
Description: It was discovered that the SIEVE component of dovecot, a mail server that supports mbox and maildir mailboxes, is vulnerable to a buffer overflow when processing SIEVE scripts. This can be used to elevate privileges to the dovecot system user. An attacker who is able to install SIEVE scripts executed by the server is therefore able to read and modify arbitrary email messages on the system.
