CVE-2022-30550 2 Debian, Dovecot 2 Debian Linux, Dovecot 2024-01-12 N/A 8.8 HIGH
An issue was discovered in the auth component in Dovecot 2.2 and 2.3 before 2.3.20. When two passdb configuration entries exist with the same driver and args settings, incorrect username_filter and mechanism settings can be applied to passdb definitions. These incorrectly applied settings can lead to an unintended security configuration and can permit privilege escalation in certain configurations. The documentation does not advise against the use of passdb definitions that have the same driver and args settings. One such configuration would be where an administrator wishes to use the same PAM configuration or passwd file for both normal and master users but use the username_filter setting to restrict which of the users is able to be a master user.

CVE-2017-2669 2 Debian, Dovecot 2 Debian Linux, Dovecot 2019-10-09 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
Dovecot before version 2.2.29 is vulnerable to a denial of service. When 'dict' passdb and userdb were used for user authentication, the username sent by the IMAP/POP3 client was sent through var_expand() to perform %variable expansion. Sending specially crafted %variable fields could result in excessive memory usage causing the process to crash (and restart), or excessive CPU usage causing all authentications to hang.
CVE-2017-15132 3 Canonical, Debian, Dovecot 3 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Dovecot 2019-10-09 5.0 MEDIUM 7.5 HIGH
A flaw was found in dovecot 2.0 up to 2.2.33 and 2.3.0. An abort of SASL authentication results in a memory leak in dovecot's auth client used by login processes.

script-login in Dovecot 2.0.x before 2.0.13 does not follow the user and group configuration settings, which might allow remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions by leveraging a script.
CVE-2011-2167 1 Dovecot 1 Dovecot 2017-08-29 6.5 MEDIUM N/A
script-login in Dovecot 2.0.x before 2.0.13 does not follow the chroot configuration setting, which might allow remote authenticated users to conduct directory traversal attacks by leveraging a script.

CVE-2010-3707 1 Dovecot 1 Dovecot 2011-08-27 5.5 MEDIUM N/A
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.
CVE-2010-3780 1 Dovecot 1 Dovecot 2011-08-27 4.0 MEDIUM N/A
