 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDVSA-2009:306
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package : dovecot
 Date    : November 29, 2009
 Affected: 2010.0
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 A vulnerability was discovered and corrected in dovecot:
 
 Dovecot 1.2.x before 1.2.8 sets 0777 permissions during creation of
 certain directories at installation time, which allows local users to
 access arbitrary user accounts by replacing the auth socket, related
 to the parent directories of the base_dir directory, and possibly
 the base_dir directory itself (CVE-2009-3897).
 
 The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
