Dovecot 1.2.x before 1.2.15 and 2.0.x before 2.0.beta2 grants the admin permission to the owner of each mailbox in a non-public namespace, which might allow remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions by changing the ACL of a mailbox, as demonstrated by a symlinked shared mailbox.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This Dovecot flaw can let a logged-in mail user change mailbox access controls they should not control. In practical terms, it could weaken separation between users or shared mailboxes on affected mail servers. The sources do not provide CVSS, KEV listing, or confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on legacy mail servers running affected Dovecot versions with non-public namespaces, ACLs, or shared mailbox arrangements available to authenticated users. Prioritize if the organization still runs legacy Dovecot or hosts shared mailboxes containing sensitive mail. For modern, fully patched systems, urgency is lower but inventory confirmation is still warranted. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Dovecot 1.2.x to 1.2.15 or later.; Upgrade Dovecot 2.0.x to 2.0.beta2 or later.; Apply relevant Ubuntu or Mandriva security updates where applicable..
