Debian Security Advisory DSA-1516-1                security@...ian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/                         Florian Weimer

Package        : dovecot
Vulnerability  : privilege escalation
Problem type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s)      : CVE-2008-1199 CVE-2008-1218
Debian Bug     : 469457

Prior to this update, the default configuration for Dovecot used by
Debian runs the server daemons with group mail privileges.  This means
that users with write access to their mail directory by other means
(for example, through an SSH login) could read mailboxes owned by
other users for which they do not have direct write access
(CVE-2008-1199).  In addition, an internal interpretation conflict in
password handling has been addressed proactively, even though it is
not known to be exploitable (CVE-2008-1218).

Note that applying this update requires manual action: The
configuration setting "mail_extra_groups = mail" has been replaced
with "mail_privileged_group = mail".  The update will show a
configuration file conflict in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf.  It is
recommended that you keep the currently installed configuration file,
and change the affected line.  For your reference, the sample
configuration (without your local changes) will have been written to
/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf.dpkg-new.

If your current configuration uses mail_extra_groups with a value
different from "mail", you may have to resort to the
mail_access_groups configuration directive.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.rc15-2etch4.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.13-1.

For the old stable distribution (sarge), no updates are provided.
We recommend that you consider upgrading to the stable distribution.

Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
        will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
