Description Jan Kundrát (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-05-12 14:24:15 UTC
Fixed in 1.0-beta8:

"Fixed a security hole with mbox: "1 LIST .. *" command could list all directories and files under the mbox root directory, so if your mails were stored in eg. /var/mail/%u/ directory, the command would list everything under /var/mail."

I've been bumping dovecot of late - want me to put beta 8 in g2boojum to fix this?
Comment 2 Roy Marples (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-05-12 15:18:45 UTC
I've quickly tested beta8 on my server - seems to work OK so I've put it in portage.

I talked with DerCorny on IRC and since amd64 doesn't have any versions of dovecot stable and the latest version is a "beta", we won't be marking this one stable. Please re-add us if people really do want amd64 to mark it stable.
Comment 8 Tobias Scherbaum (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-05-14 09:53:30 UTC
ppc stable
