BSA-006 Security Update for dovecot

Marco Nenciarini uploaded new packages for dovecot which fixed the
following security problems:

CVE-2010-3706
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.

CVE-2010-3707
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-2010-3779
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.
