Descriptions

Dovecot 1.2.x before 1.2.15 and 2.0.x before 2.0.beta2 grants the admin permission to the owner of each mailbox in a non-public namespace, which might allow remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions by changing the ACL of a mailbox, as demonstrated by a symlinked shared mailbox.

Dovecot v1.2.x anterior a v1.2.15 y v2.0.x anterior a v2.0.beta2 proporciona permisos de administrador al propietario del cada buzón de correo en un espacio de nombres no público (non-public namespace), lo que podría permitir a usuarios autenticados remotamente evitar resctricciones de acceso intencionadas cambiando el ACL de un buzón de correo, tal y como se demostró con un buzón "symlinked shared"
