MiracleLinux 4 : dovecot-2.0.9-2.AXS4 (AXSA:2011-212:01)

high Nessus Plugin ID 284287

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2011-212:01 advisory.

 Dovecot is an IMAP server for Linux/UNIX-like systems, written with security primarily in mind. It also contains a small POP3 server. It supports mail in either of maildir or mbox formats.
 The SQL drivers and authentication plug-ins are in their subpackages.
 Security issues fixed with this release:
 CVE-2010-3707 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-2010-3780 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.
 Enhancements:
 - Upgraded to version 2.0.9. Refer to the /usr/share/doc/dovecot-2.0.9/ChangeLog file after installation for a full list of bug fixes and improvements.
