Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.60147
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-567-1 (dovecot)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to dovecot
announced via advisory USN-567-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 7.04
Ubuntu 7.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

It was discovered that in very rare configurations using LDAP, Dovecot may
reuse cached connections for users with the same password. As a result,
a user may be able to login as another if the connection is reused.
The default Ubuntu configuration of Dovecot was not vulnerable.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 7.04:
dovecot-imapd 1.0.rc17-1ubuntu2.2
dovecot-pop3d 1.0.rc17-1ubuntu2.2

Ubuntu 7.10:
dovecot-imapd 1:1.0.5-1ubuntu2.1
dovecot-pop3d 1:1.0.5-1ubuntu2.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
