Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:

Ubuntu 8.10:

Ubuntu 9.04:
  dovecot-common                  1:1.1.11-0ubuntu4.1

negative access rights. An attacker could exploit this flaw to access the
Dovecot server, bypassing the indended access restrictions. This only
affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. (CVE-2008-4577)

It was discovered that the ManageSieve service in Dovecot incorrectly
handled .. in script names. A remote attacker could exploit this to read
and modify arbitrary sieve files on the server. This only affected Ubuntu
8.10. (CVE-2008-5301)

It was discovered that the Sieve plugin in Dovecot incorrectly handled
certain sieve scripts. An authenticated user could exploit this with a
crafted sieve script to cause a denial of service or possibly execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2009-2632, CVE-2009-3235)";
