    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1892-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Giuseppe Iuculano September 23, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Packages : dovecot
    Vulnerability : buffer overflow
    Problem type : local (remote)
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE IDs : CVE-2009-2632 CVE-2009-3235
    Debian Bug : 546656

    It was discovered that the SIEVE component of dovecot, a mail server
    that supports mbox and maildir mailboxes, is vulnerable to a buffer
    overflow when processing SIEVE scripts. This can be used to elevate
    privileges to the dovecot system user. An attacker who is able to
    install SIEVE scripts executed by the server is therefore able to read
    and modify arbitrary email messages on the system.


    For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.rc15-2etch5.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.0.15-2.3+lenny1.

    For the testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution
    (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1:1.2.1-1.


    We recommend that you upgrade your dovecot packages.


    Upgrade instructions
    - --------------------

    wget url
    will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb

    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update
