CVE-2010-3706

Dovecot: Failed to update ACL cache for mailboxes stored in private namespace

Published Oct 6, 2010 CVSS 2.0 · 5.5 Medium EPSS 2.1% KEV · Not listed
Description
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 the private namespace of a user, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions via a request to read or modify a mailbox.
