+ <title>Dovecot: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Two vulnerabilities in Dovecot allow for information disclosure and
+ argument injection.

+ <package name="net-mail/dovecot" auto="yes" arch="*">

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Dovecot is a lightweight, fast and easy to configure IMAP and POP3 mail
+ server.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Dovecot uses the group configured via the "mail_extra_groups" setting,
+ which should be used to create lockfiles in the /var/mail directory,
+ when accessing arbitrary files (CVE-2008-1199). Dovecot does not escape
+ TAB characters in passwords when saving them, which might allow for
+ argument injection in blocking passdbs such as MySQL, PAM or shadow
+ (CVE-2008-1218).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ Remote attackers can exploit the first vulnerability to disclose
+ sensitive data, such as the mail of other users, or modify files or
+ directories that are writable by group via a symlink attack. Please
+ note that the "mail_extra_groups" setting is set to the "mail" group by
+ default when the "mbox" USE flag is enabled.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The second vulnerability can be abused to inject arguments for internal
+ fields. No exploitation vectors are known for this vulnerability that
+ affect previously stable versions of Dovecot in Gentoo.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Dovecot users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-mail/dovecot-1.0.13-r1"</code>
+ <p>
+ This version removes the "mail_extra_groups" option and introduces a
+ "mail_privileged_group" setting which is handled safely.
+ </p>
