NASL family Ubuntu Local Security Checks NASL id UBUNTU_USN-1059-1.NASL description 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).

Dovecot 1.2.x before 1.2.15 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (master process outage) by simultaneously disconnecting many (1) IMAP or (2) POP3 sessions (CVE-2010-3780). The ACL plugin in Dovecot 1.2.x before 1.2.13 propagates INBOX ACLs to newly created mailboxes in certain configurations, which might allow remote attackers to read mailboxes that have unintended weak ACLs (CVE-2010-3304). plugins/acl/acl-backend-vfile.c in Dovecot 1.2.x before 1.2.15 and 2.0.x before 2.0.5 interprets an ACL entry as a directive to add to the permissions granted by another ACL entry, instead of a directive to replace the permissions granted by another ACL entry, in certain circumstances involving the private namespace of a user, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions via a request to read or modify a mailbox (CVE-2010-3706). plugins/acl/acl-backend-vfile.c in Dovecot 1.2.x before 1.2.15 and 2.0.x before 2.0.5 interprets an ACL entry as a directive to add to the permissions granted by another ACL entry, instead of a directive to replace the permissions granted by another ACL entry, in certain circumstances involving more specific entries that occur after less specific entries, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions via a request to read or modify a mailbox (CVE-2010-3707).
