An authenticated attacker with local shell access could leverage this flaw to read, modify, or delete other users mail that is stored on the mail server. (CVE-2008-1199) This issue did not affect the default Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Dovecot configuration. This update adds two new configuration options -- 'mail_privileged_group' and 'mail_access_groups' -- to minimize the usage of additional privileges. A directory traversal flaw was discovered in Dovecot's zlib plug-in. An authenticated user could use this flaw to view other compressed mailboxes with the permissions of the Dovecot process. (CVE-2007-2231) A flaw was found in the Dovecot ACL plug-in. User with only insert permissions for a mailbox could use the 'COPY' and 'APPEND' commands to set additional message flags. (CVE-2007-4211) A flaw was found in a way Dovecot cached LDAP query results in certain configurations. This could possibly allow authenticated users to log in as a different user who has the same password. (CVE-2007-6598) As well, this updated package fixes the following bugs : - configuring 'userdb' and 'passdb' to use LDAP caused Dovecot to hang. A segmentation fault may have occurred. In this updated package, using an LDAP backend for 'userdb' and 'passdb' no longer causes Dovecot to hang. - the Dovecot 'login_process_size' limit was configured for 32-bit systems. On 64-bit systems, when Dovecot was configured to use either IMAP or POP3, the log in processes crashed with out-of-memory errors. Errors such as the following were logged : pop3-login: pop3-login: error while loading shared libraries: libsepol.so.1: failed to map segment from shared object: Cannot allocate memory In this updated package, the 'login_process_size' limit is correctly configured on 64-bit systems, which resolves this issue.
