"sieve: failed to store into mailbox 'Junk': Read-only mbox" over root_squashed NFS, lmtp : euid/egid set and access() don't mix together for me
by Ludovic POUZENC 07 Feb '19

07 Feb '19

Hi, I try to migrate an old fashioned mailsystem to Debian 9.7 / dovecot 2.2.7. I "have" to cope with mbox for now. I try to get rid of Sun OS 5.9 sendmail before mbox to mdbox migration (I'm fine if you laugh loudly ^^). Intended setup : 2 VM with exim (smtp in, smtp out roughly), 3 VM with dovecot (mbox, maildir, testbed), 1 VM with IMAP proxy and LMTP proxy. doveconf -n is at end of this mail. My test case is : root@wagram:~# swaks --to tstifi04 --server imap --protocol lmtp --header-X-Spam-Status yes root@wagram:~# (imap VM LMTP proxies to telegraphe5 VM in this test) mbox folders are in users homedir, no generic "vmail" unix account. Real posixAccounts in LDAP, NFS root_squashed. sieve "fileinto "Junk" call goes wrong : > Feb 6 17:56:03 telegraphe5 dovecot: lmtp(tstifi04): Error: > PytSHqIRW1x2dgAA+Fldtw: sieve: msgid=unspecified: failed to store into > mailbox 'Junk': Read-only mbox straced : https://pastebin.com/A53hDYnS I may miss some configuration options... but I get stuck. I get to IRC and it seems that there is no simple things to circumvent. I tried to read some code path too. https://wiki.dovecot.org/LMTP states : > > Security > > Unfortunately LMTP process currently needs to run as root, and only > temporarily drop privileges to users. Otherwise it couldn't handle > mail deliveries to more than a single user with different UID. If > you're using only a single global UID/GID, you can improve security by > running lmtp processes as that user: > service lmtp { > user = vmail > } lmtp run as root, drop temporarily privileges. The point, IHMO, is lmtp calls sieve code paths, that call some mbox saving function, that calls libc/syscall access(). And this explicitly not consider effective uid/gid. From strace (more in pastebin) : > [pid 30326] geteuid() = 0 > [pid 30326] setresuid(-1, 20609, -1) = 0 > [pid 30326] geteuid() = 20609 > [pid 30326] access("/home/tstifi04/mail-imap/Junk", R_OK|W_OK) = -1 > EACCES (Permission denied) From man access > The check is done using the calling process's real UID and GID, > rather than the effective IDs as is done when actually > attempting an operation (e.g., open(2)) on the file. > Similarly, for the root user, the check uses the set of permitted > capabilities rather than the set of effective capabilities; and > for non-root users, the check uses an empty set of capa- > bilities. I think that the process has effectively sufficient permissions to write into the root_squashed file, and infortunately access() check another thing. In dovecot sources, src/lib/eacces-error.c is aware of those "problems" with access(), but I think that mbox and maybe other storage backends don't use this for main codepath (like save a mail), but "only" for smart log messages in some cases. I may gone wrong while seeking about it. Do you see a configuration that can use root squashed mboxes and LMTP ? Should test_access() variant could be used as access() replacement ? There is eaccess() and euidaccess() too but may be not portable enough (_GNU_SOURCE only).

acl_groups in LDAP
by Christian Rößner 06 Feb '19

06 Feb '19

Hi, I found a 9 year old thread (https://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-October/054407.html) concerning acl_groups in OpenLDAP. In this thread someone asked, if it is possible to provide ACLs as multi value in OpenLDAP. I know that Dovecot expects acl_groups as a comma separated list, so currently I do this with a single value. Did the code change a little bit and accepts multi values now? Would be nice to have attributes like: ACLAttribute: group1 ACLAttribute: group2 ... Instead of: ACLAttribute: group1,group2 Thanks in advance Christian -- Rößner-Network-Solutions Karl-Bröger-Str. 10, 36304 Alsfeld T: +49 6631 9110725, F: +49 6631 78823409, M: +49 171 9905345 USt-IdNr.: DE225643613, https://roessner-network-solutions.com

SELinux policy to allow Dovecot to connect to Mysql
by Robert Moskowitz 05 Feb '19

05 Feb '19

As I have noted in previous messages, I been getting the following on my new mailserver: Apr 7 10:17:27 z9m9z dovecot: dict: Error: mysql(localhost): Connect failed to database (postfix): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13) - waiting for 25 seconds before retry They go away when I setenforce 0. It is not a timing issue as I earlier thought. So I googled dovecot mysql selinux and the only worthwhile hit was: http://zszsit.blogspot.com/2012/12/dovecot-mysql-selinux-issue-on-centos6.h… that provides a /etc/selinux/dovecot2mysql.te and other selinux stuff. Is there a simpler way like a setsbool option? With all the howtos on dovecot with mysql, it is interesting that none of them seem to have this problem. Maybe because they connect to mysql through TCP port 3306 which has ITS set of problems (like MariaDB defaults to not listening on TCP). thanks!

problem using different dovecot versions
by Gonzalo Palacios Goicolea 05 Feb '19

05 Feb '19

Hi All, I'm new to the list and may be it's a known issue. I have a set of servers with RHEL6 and dovecot-2.2.10-1_14.el6.x86_64 and another set of servers with RHEL7 and, now, with dovecot-2.2.36-3.el7.x86_64. Both sets write to the same NFS. Since I updated RHEL7 servers (from 2.2.10-8.el7.x86_64) I've problems with index files when a RHEL7 dovecot service write to the filesystem of a user (the first log line corresponds to RHEL7 and the others to RHEL6): Feb 5 09:33:05 listas3 dovecot: lda(user@domain): sieve: msgid=<007bxxxxxxx(a)uam.es>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX' Feb 5 09:33:25 buzon1 dovecot: imap(user@domain): Error:

CVE-2019-3814: Suitable client certificate can be used to login as other user
by Aki Tuomi 05 Feb '19

05 Feb '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. Please find patches for v2.2.36 and v2.3.4 attached, or download new version from https://dovecot.org Yours sincerely, Aki Tuomi Open-Xchange Oy Product: Dovecot Vendor: Open-Xchange Oy Internal reference: DOV-2890 (Bug ID) Vulnerability type: Improper Authentication - Generic (CWE287) Vulnerable versions: 1.1.0 - 2.2.36 and 2.3.0 - 2.3.4 Vulnerable component: authentication Report confidence: Confirmed Solution status: Fixed by Vendor Fixed versions: 2.2.36.1, 2.3.4.1 Vendor notification: 2019-01-16 Solution date: 2019-01-20 Public disclosure: 2019-02-05 Researcher Credits: https://hackerone.com/halfdog CVE reference: CVE-2019-3814 CVSS: 8.2 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N) Vulnerability Details: Normally Dovecot is configured to authenticate imap/pop3/managesieve/submission clients using regular username/password combination. Some installations have also required clients to present a trusted SSL certificate on top of that. It's also possible to configure Dovecot to take the username from the certificate instead of from the user provided authentication. It's also possible to avoid having a password at all, only trusting the SSL certificate. If the provided trusted SSL certificate is missing the username field, Dovecot should be failing the authentication. However, the earlier versions will take the username from the user provided authentication fields (e.g. LOGIN command). If there is no additional password verification, this allows the attacker to login as anyone else in the system. This affects only installations using: auth_ssl_require_client_cert = yes auth_ssl_username_from_cert = yes Attacker must also have access to a valid trusted certificate without the ssl_cert_username_field in it. The default is commonName, which almost certainly exists in all certificates. This could happen for example if ssl_cert_username_field is a field that normally doesn't exist, and attacker has access to a web server's certificate (and key), which is signed with the same CA. Attack can be migitated by having the certificates with proper Extended Key Usage, such as 'TLS Web Server' and 'TLS Web Server Client'. Also, ssl_cert_username_field setting was ignored with external SMTP AUTH, because none of the MTAs (Postfix, Exim) currently send the cert_username field. This may have allowed users with trusted certificate to specify any username in the authentication. This does not apply to Dovecot Submission service. Proof of concept Create a CA certificate for signing, and sign a certificate with missing commoName attribute. With following configuration passdb { driver = static arguments = nopassword } ssl_ca =</path/to/ca.pem auth_ssl_require_client_cert = yes auth_ssl_username_from_cert = yes You are able to log in as any user with this certificate using following commands: openssl s_client -connect server:port -cert /path/to/cert -key /path/to/key a LOGIN anyusername anypassword

acl_groups from LDAP issue
by Jakobus Schürz 04 Feb '19

04 Feb '19

Hi! I have some trouble with userdb, ldap an extrafields for acl_groups. There is a script in python, which fetches the groups and sets the environment-variable ACL_GROUPS to this groups. It works when i log in to imap (thunderbird for example shows my public folders which are protected by acl_groups). But when it try doveadm mailbox list -u user.name the mailboxes are not listed and with -Dv i get "permission denied, no lookup rights". in my dovecot-ldap-userdb.conf.ext is hosts = ldap.server.example dn = cn=service_id,ou=mailserver,ou=system,ou=services,dc=server,dc=example dnpass = protectedpassword12345 tls = yes tls_ca_cert_file = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt tls_require_cert = demand ldap_version = 3 base = ou=users,dc=server,dc=example deref = always scope = subtree user_attrs = =home={ldap:dcMailMessageStore},system_groups_user=%u,allow_all_users=yes,=acl_groups=%{env:ACL_GROUPS} user_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=%u)(!(sn=NoLogin))(|(memberof=cn=perm-app-mymail_admins,ou=mymail,ou=apps,ou=services,dc=schuerz,dc=at)(memberof=cn=perm-app-mymail_users,ou=mymail,ou=apps,ou=services,dc=schuerz,dc=at))) when i change acl_groups=%{env:ACL_GROUPS} to acl_gropus=mygroup, the doveadm mailbox list command shows my public mailbox So how do i get my acl_groups from the postlogin-script output into userdb-query? Even, when i do on the shell ACL_GROUPS=mygroup doveadm mailbox list -u user.name the ACL_GROUPS Environment is ignored by the doveadm-command... thank you jakob

Multi-dbox storage space
by MRob 04 Feb '19

Hi, I originally picked mdbox because I had the impression from reading about it on the mailing list that it was more performant and that it would conserve disc space. But lately i found mailboxes have nearly double the storage as reported. I mean, IMAP QUOTA reports around 900MB for one account that has over 2GB when I inspect the mail location of the user using the linux command `du` Another account has around 750MB according to IMAP but using du I find 1.5GB. This is for message files and index files combined. Is this normal? I tried to read the MailboxFormat/dbox wiki page and it does not directly address this topic but it does reference "doveadm purge". Do I need to use "doveadm purge"?
