"The remote Oracle Linux 5 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
ELSA-2008-0297 advisory.
- Directory traversal vulnerability in index/mbox/mbox-storage.c in Dovecot before 1.0.rc29, when using the
zlib plugin, allows remote attackers to read arbitrary gzipped (.gz) mailboxes (mbox files) via a .. (dot
dot) sequence in the mailbox name. (CVE-2007-2231)
- The ACL plugin in Dovecot before 1.0.3 allows remote authenticated users with the insert right to save
certain flags via a (1) COPY or (2) APPEND command. (CVE-2007-4211)
- Dovecot before 1.0.10, with certain configuration options including use of %variables, does not properly
maintain the LDAP+auth cache, which might allow remote authenticated users to login as a different user
who has the same password. (CVE-2007-6598)
- Dovecot before 1.0.11, when configured to use mail_extra_groups to allow Dovecot to create dotlocks in
/var/mail, might allow local users to read sensitive mail files for other users, or modify files or
directories that are writable by group, via a symlink attack. (CVE-2008-1199)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
