[Backports-security-announce] Security Update for dovecot

Gerfried Fuchs uploaded new packages for dovecot which fixed the
following security problems:

CVE-2008-4577, Debian Bug #502967

The ACL plugin in Dovecot before 1.1.4 treats negative access rights
as if they are positive access rights, which allows attackers to
bypass intended access restrictions.

Debian Bug #506031

A flaw in the handling of script names in ManageSieve offered the
posibility to read and edit script files of other virtual users with
the same system uid.

For the etch-backports distribution the problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.15-2.3~bpo40+1.

For the lenny and sid distributions the problems have been fixed in
version 1.0.15-2.3.

Upgrade instructions

If you don't use pinning (see [1]) you have to update the packages
manually via "apt-get -t etch-backports install <packagelist>" with the
packagelist of your installed packages affected by this update.

We recommend to pin the backports repository to 200 so that new versions
of installed backports will be installed automatically:
