Hi,

I'm trying to use the current version of dovecot as the IMAP server for Kolab and things seem to be working more or less OK, but while working on it I've found a dovecot bug that can probably be fixed quickly by someone familiar with the code.

I've found the problem using shared folders, but it is related to ACLs and METADATA.

The problem appears when a user only has the 'l' (lookup) permission on a folder and later tries to get METADATA from all his or her folders; a sample session to ilustrate the problem:

A1 GETACL "foo"

• ACL foo admin akxeilprwtscd -admin "" sto@iti.es lrwstipekxacd A1 OK Getacl completed. A2 SETACL "foo" sto@iti.es l A2 OK Setacl complete. A3 GETACL "foo"
• ACL foo admin akxeilprwtscd -admin "" sto@iti.es al A3 OK Getacl completed. A4 GETMETADATA "foo" (/private/vendor/kolab/folder-type /shared/vendor/kolab/folder-type) A4 NO [NOPERM] Permission denied A5 GETMETADATA "*" (/private/vendor/kolab/folder-type /shared/vendor/kolab/folder-type)

<CORE DUMPED>

The dovecot.log messages are:

And the gdb output is (my binary has no debug symbols, so I guess it is not really useful):

If someone can look into it I will be grateful; of course if more info is needed I'm available to help as much as I can.

Thanks in advance,

Sergio.
