What? No user serviceable parts inside your car? It's a federal felony to raise the hood for any reason. You've got to see an authorized dealer or a professional mechanic for every little thing on a used car because cars are closed source proprietary and it's illegal to circumvent anything etc. Elon Musk is hard at work.

Affected product: Dovecot IMAP Server Internal reference: DOV-5320 Vulnerability type: Improper Access Control (CWE-284) Vulnerable version: 2.2 Vulnerable component: submission Report confidence: Confirmed Solution status: Fixed in main Researcher credits: Julian Brook (julezman) Vendor notification: 2022-05-06 CVE reference: CVE-2022-30550 CVSS: 6.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N)
Vulnerability Details: When two passdb configuration entries exist in Dovecot configuration, which have the same driver and args settings, the incorrect username_filter and mechanism settings can be applied to passdb definitions. These incorrectly applied settings can lead to an unintended security configuration and can permit privilege escalation with certain configurations involving master user authentication.
Dovecot documentation does not advise against the use of passdb definitions which have the same driver and args settings. One such configuration would be where an administrator wishes to use the same pam configuration or passwd file for both normal and master users but use the username_filter setting to restrict which of the users is able to be a master user.
Risk: If same passwd file or PAM is used for both normal and master users, it is possible for attacker to become master user.
Workaround: Always authenticate master users from different source than regular users, e.g. using a separate passwd file. Alternatively, you can use global ACLs to ensure that only legimate master users have priviledged access.
Fix: This has been fixed in main branch. See https://github.com/dovecot/core/compare/7bad6a24%5E..a1022072.patch
Two small corrections to this CVE notice... The service impacted is of course 'auth' not 'submission', and the version impacted is from 2.2 to 2.3.19.1.
Aki
I wouldnt exactly call them " small " corrections
its like saying the left window on your 2020 car can be pushed down easily to saying oh wait its every window and you dont need a key to start the engine and btw its all cars from 2010 to 2022
And if its that serious where is the release, thats how dealing with CVE's works Aki, not a CVE statement saying go to gitbub.
That said, I'd assume everyone uses a separate db for support teams anyway, or I'd hope so/
