Ubuntu 10.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
  dovecot-common                  1:1.2.9-1ubuntu6.3

Ubuntu 10.10:
  dovecot-common                  1:1.2.12-1ubuntu8.1

Details follow:

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)
