Detail
| A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Ubuntu 10.10 This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu. The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: Ubuntu 10.10: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes. Details follow: It was discovered that the ACL plugin in Dovecot would incorrectly propagate ACLs to new mailboxes. A remote authenticated user could possibly read new mailboxes that were created with the wrong ACL. (CVE-2010-3304) It was discovered that the ACL plugin in Dovecot would incorrectly merge ACLs in certain circumstances. A remote authenticated user could possibly bypass intended access restrictions and gain access to mailboxes. (CVE-2010-3706, CVE-2010-3707) It was discovered that the ACL plugin in Dovecot would incorrectly grant the admin permission to owners of certain mailboxes. A remote authenticated user could possibly bypass intended access restrictions and gain access to mailboxes. (CVE-2010-3779) It was discovered that Dovecot incorrecly handled the simultaneous disconnect of a large number of sessions. A remote authenticated user could use this flaw to cause Dovecot to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2010-3780) |

| 68516 | Dovecot plugins/acl/acl-backend-vfile.c ACL Permission Addition User Private ... Dovecot contains a flaw related to 'plugins/acl/acl-backend-vfile.c' interpreting an ACL permissions entry which may involve a user's private namespace and is of the same type as a previous ACL entry as an addition rather than a replacement. This may allow a remote authenticated attacker to use a request to read or modify a mailbox to bypass intended access restrictions. |

Dovecot contains a flaw related to 'plugins/acl/acl-backend-vfile.c' interpreting a less specific ACL permissions entry of the same type as a previous more specific ACL entry as an addition rather than a replacement. This may allow a remote authenticated attacker to use a request to read or modify a mailbox to bypass intended access restrictions. |
| 68513 | Dovecot Non-public Namespace Mailbox ACL Manipulation Access Restriction Remo... Dovecot contains a flaw related to the ACL plugin granting admin permissions to mailbox owners in non-public namespaces. This may allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass intended access restrictions by changing a mailbox's ACL. |
| 68512 | Dovecot IMAP / POP3 Session Disconnect Master Process Outage Remote DoS Dovecot contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when a remote authenticated attacker disconnects a large amount of IMAP or POP3 sessions simultaneously, and will result in loss of availability for the master process. |
| 66625 | Dovecot ACL Plugin INBOX ACL Copying Weakness Restriction Bypass Dovecot contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered due to an error when processing very long header lines, and will result in loss of availability for the service. |
