Red Hat Security Advisory 2013-0520-02 - Dovecot is an IMAP server, written with security primarily in mind, for Linux and other UNIX-like systems. It also contains a small POP3 server. It supports mail in either of maildir or mbox formats. The SQL drivers and authentication plug-ins are provided as sub-packages. Two flaws were found in the way some settings were enforced by the script-login functionality of Dovecot. A remote, authenticated user could use these flaws to bypass intended access restrictions or conduct a directory traversal attack by leveraging login scripts.

Ubuntu Security Notice 1295-1 - It was discovered that Dovecot incorrectly validated certificate hostnames when being used as a POP3 and IMAP proxy. If a remote attacker were able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be exploited to view sensitive information.
