CVE-2010-3707

Dovecot: Failed to properly update ACL cache, when multiple rules defined rights for one subject

Published Oct 6, 2010 CVSS 2.0 · 5.5 Medium EPSS 2.3% 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 more specific entries that occur after less specific entries, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions via a request to read or modify a mailbox.
