Descriptions

Dovecot 1.2.x before 1.2.8 sets 0777 permissions during creation of certain directories at installation time, which allows local users to access arbitrary user accounts by replacing the auth socket, related to the parent directories of the base_dir directory, and possibly the base_dir directory itself.

Dovecot v1.2.x anterior v1.2.8 establece permisos 0777 durante la creación de ciertos directorios en el momento de la instalación, permitiendo a usuarios locales acceder a las cuentas de usuarios por reemplazamiento del socket auth, relacionados con los directorios padre del directorio base_dir, y probablemente con el propio directorio base_dir
