It was discovered that Dovecot, when configured to use non-system-user spools and compressed folders, would allow directory traversals in mailbox names. Remote authenticated users could potentially read email owned by other users.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
