EulerOS 2.0 SP8 : dovecot (EulerOS-SA-2022-2456)

high Nessus Plugin ID 165855

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the dovecot packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - An issue was discovered in the auth component in Dovecot 2.2 and 2.3 before 2.3.20. When two passdb configuration entries exist with the same driver and args settings, incorrect username_filter and mechanism settings can be applied to passdb definitions. These incorrectly applied settings can lead to an unintended security configuration and can permit privilege escalation in certain configurations. The documentation does not advise against the use of passdb definitions that have the same driver and args settings. One such configuration would be where an administrator wishes to use the same PAM configuration or passwd file for both normal and master users but use the username_filter setting to restrict which of the users is able to be a master user. (CVE-2022-30550)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected dovecot packages.
