Note:
The sieve and manage-sieve stuff was removed from the package because it will
be packaged into its own package. Because dovecot2 became more modular, also
providing development headers and libraries there is no real need for having
a fully compiled dovecot source tree to build a plugin.
Nevertheless the 'old' way to build plugins is still supported!
CVE-2008-1199 (Medium) :
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-2008-1218 (Medium) :
Argument injection vulnerability in Dovecot 1.0.x before 1.0.13, and 1.1.x before 1.1.rc3, when using
blocking passdbs, allows remote attackers to bypass the password check via a password
containing TAB characters, which are treated as argument delimiters that enable the
skip_password_check field to be specified.
