+  <title>Dovecot: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    Two vulnerabilities in Dovecot allow for information disclosure and
+    argument injection.
+  </synopsis>

+  <affected>
+    <package name="net-mail/dovecot" auto="yes" arch="*">
+      <unaffected range="ge">1.0.13-r1</unaffected>
+      <vulnerable range="lt">1.0.13-r1</vulnerable>

+  <background>
+    <p>
+    Dovecot is a lightweight, fast and easy to configure IMAP and POP3 mail
+    server.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Dovecot uses the group configured via the "mail_extra_groups" setting,
+    which should be used to create lockfiles in the /var/mail directory,
+    when accessing arbitrary files (CVE-2008-1199). Dovecot does not escape
+    TAB characters in passwords when saving them, which might allow for
+    argument injection in blocking passdbs such as MySQL, PAM or shadow
+    (CVE-2008-1218).
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    Remote attackers can exploit the first vulnerability to disclose
+    sensitive data, such as the mail of other users, or modify files or
+    directories that are writable by group via a symlink attack. Please
+    note that the "mail_extra_groups" setting is set to the "mail" group by
+    default when the "mbox" USE flag is enabled.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+    The second vulnerability can be abused to inject arguments for internal
+    fields. No exploitation vectors are known for this vulnerability that
+    affect previously stable versions of Dovecot in Gentoo.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Dovecot users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-mail/dovecot-1.0.13-r1&quot;</code>
+    <p>
+    This version removes the "mail_extra_groups" option and introduces a
+    "mail_privileged_group" setting which is handled safely.
+    </p>
+  </resolution>
