Pigeonhole release 0.5.6
by Aki Tuomi 30 Apr '19

30 Apr '19

Hi! We are pleased to release Pigeonhole 0.5.6 for Dovecot 2.3.6. Tarball https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.6.ta… https://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3-pigeonhole-0.5.6.ta… Binary packages can be found from https://repo.dovecot.org/ Changes + sieve: Redirect loop prevention is sometimes ineffective. Improve existing loop detection by also recognizing the X-Sieve-Redirected-From header in incoming messages and dropping redirect actions when it points to the sending account. This header is already added by the redirect action, so this improvement only adds an additional use of this header. - sieve: Prevent execution of implicit keep upon temporary failure occurring at runtime. --- Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy

Lets try again, put wrong changelog to the mail. Sorry about this. https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.5.2.tar.gz https://dovecot.org/releases/2.3/dovecot-2.3.5.2.tar.gz.sig Binary packages in https://repo.dovecot.org/ * CVE-2019-10691: Trying to login with 8bit username containing invalid UTF8 input causes auth process to crash if auth policy is enabled. This could be used rather easily to cause a DoS. Similar crash also happens during mail delivery when using invalid UTF8 in From or Subject header when OX push notification driver is used. --- Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange oy

CVE-2019-10691: JSON encoder in Dovecot 2.3 incorrecty assert-crashes when encountering invalid UTF-8 characters.
by Aki Tuomi 18 Apr '19

Dear subscribers, we're sharing our latest advisory with you and would like to thank everyone who contributed in finding and solving those vulnerabilities. Feel free to join our bug bounty programs (open-xchange, dovecot, powerdns) at HackerOne. You can find binary packages at https://repo.dovecot.org/ Yours sincerely, Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange Oy Open-Xchange Security Advisory 2019-04-18 Product: Dovecot Vendor: OX Software GmbH Internal reference: DOV-3173 (Bug ID) Vulnerability type: CWE-176 Vulnerable version: 2.3.0 - 2.3.5.1 Vulnerable component: json encoder Report confidence: Confirmed Researcher credits: cPanel L.L.C. Solution status: Fixed by Vendor Fixed version: 2.3.5.2 Vendor notification: 2019-04-02 Solution date: 2019-04-11 Public disclosure: 2019-04-18 CVE reference: CVE-2019-10691 CVSS: 7.5 (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) Vulnerability Details: JSON encoder in Dovecot 2.3 incorrecty assert-crashes when encountering invalid UTF-8 characters. This can be used to crash dovecot in two ways. Attacker can repeatedly crash Dovecot authentication process by logging in using invalid UTF-8 sequence in username. This requires that auth policy is enabled. Crash can also occur if OX push notification driver is enabled and an email is delivered with invalid UTF-8 sequence in From or Subject header. In 2.2, malformed UTF-8 sequences are forwarded "as-is", and thus do not cause problems in Dovecot itself. Target systems should be checked for possible problems in dealing with such sequences. See https://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/Policy for details on auth policy support. Risk: Determined attacker can prevent authentication process from staying up by keeping on attempting to log in with username containing invalid UTF-8 sequence. Steps to reproduce: Configure dovecot with auth_policy_server_url and auth_policy_hash_nonce set. Attempt to log in with username containing an invalid UTF-8 sequence Observe assert-crash in dovecot logs. Solution: Operators should update to the latest Patch Release or disable auth policy support.

CVE-2019-7524: Buffer overflow when reading extension header from dovecot index files
by Aki Tuomi 28 Mar '19

28 Mar '19

Product: Dovecot Vendor: OX Software GmbH Internal reference: DOV-2964 (Bug ID) Vulnerability type: CWE-120 Vulnerable version: 2.0.14 - 2.3.5 Vulnerable component: fts, pop3-uidl-plugin Report confidence: Confirmed Researcher credits: Found in internal testing Solution status: Fixed by Vendor Fixed version: 2.3.5.1, 2.2.36.3 Vendor notification: 2019-02-05 Solution date: 2019-03-21 Public disclosure: 2019-03-28 CVE reference: CVE-2019-7524 CVSS: 3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C (8.8) Vulnerability Details: When reading FTS or POP3-UIDL header from dovecot index, the input buffer size is not bound, and data is copied to target structure causing stack overflow. Risk: This can be used for local root privilege escalation or executing arbitrary code in dovecot process context. This requires ability to directly modify dovecot indexes. Steps to reproduce: Produce dovecot.index.log entry that creates an FTS header which has more than 12 bytes of data. Trigger dovecot indexer-worker or run doveadm index. Dovecot will crash. Mitigations: Since 2.3.0 dovecot has been compiled with stack smash protection, ASLR, read-only GOT tables and other techniques that make exploiting this bug much harder. Solution: Operators should update to the latest Patch Release. The only workaround is to disable FTS and pop3-uidl plugin. -- Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange Oy
