Dovecot source code audit
by Timo Sirainen 17 Jan '17

17 Jan '17

Mozilla sponsored source code audit for Dovecot. So thanks to them we have our first public code audit: https://wiki.mozilla.org/MOSS/Secure_Open_Source/Completed#dovecot Dates: October 2016 - January 2017 dovecot is a POP and IMAP mailserver; it is used in 68% of IMAP server deployments worldwide. The audit was performed by Cure53. The team found the following problems: • 3 Low The Cure53 team were extremely impressed with the quality of the dovecot code. They wrote: "Despite much effort and thoroughly all-encompassing approach, the Cure53 testers only managed to assert the excellent security-standing of Dovecot. More specifically, only three minor security issues have been found in the codebase, thus translating to an exceptionally good outcome for Dovecot, and a true testament to the fact that keeping security promises is at the core of the Dovecot development and operations."

Sieve: fileinto :create issue with Public Folder
by dovecot＠avv.solutions 16 Jan '17

16 Jan '17

Hello Community, I face the following issue: - using a sieve script to file into a existing private folder: ok - using a sieve script to file into new private folder using ":create": ok - using a sieve script to file into a existing public folder: ok - using a sieve script to file into new public folder using ":create": NOK ! The returned message is: "Permission denied" and the message correctly falls back to inbox. HOWEVER, if I run "doveadm mailbox create -u myuser@mydomain Public/TheNewFolder", the folder is created, and the delete command works as well. Any tip? Running dovecot 2.2.13 on a pi/debian jessie Thanks

Replication: Can't unsubscribe from shared mailbox
by Karsten Heiken 16 Jan '17

16 Jan '17

Hi, I am running two dovecot servers active/active. Everything runs pretty great, except for the replication of subscriptions in a shared namespace. When I unsubscribe from a folder the subscription instantly re-appears. The timestamp on the subscriptions file is updated, but the entry is still in there. If the other node is shut down, everything works as expected, which leads me to believe that the subscription is re-applied upon a replicator-run. I attached a tcpdump of a dsync run. The only action that was executed was to unsubscribe from the folder shared/weinrot(a)luis.uni-hannover.de/INBOX. Is there any other way I might help debugging this? Thanks, Karsten # 2.2.24 (a82c823): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.13 (7b14904) # OS: Linux 2.6.32-44-pve x86_64 Debian 8.5 default_vsz_limit = 512 M dict { acl = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext } imap_max_line_length = 2 M lmtp_rcpt_check_quota = yes mail_attribute_dict = file:%h/Maildir/dovecot-attributes mail_gid = 7777 mail_location = maildir:%h/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs:DIRNAME=maiLdir mail_plugins = " zlib quota acl notify replication " mail_shared_explicit_inbox = yes mail_uid = 7777 mailbox_list_index = yes 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 index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext imapflags notify namespace { hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = no list = children location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEXPVT=%h/shared/%%u:LAYOUT=fs:DIRNAME=maiLdir prefix = shared/%%u/ separator = / subscriptions = yes type = shared } namespace inbox { hidden = no inbox = yes list = yes location = mailbox 30dTrash { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 30 days special_use = \Junk } mailbox Drafts { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Sent { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { auto = subscribe special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = / subscriptions = yes type = private } passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap } plugin { acl = vfile acl_shared_dict = proxy::acl mail_replica = tcp:10.6.1.10:24245 quota = maildir:Postfach-Limit quota_grace = 2%% quota_rule = *:storage=8G quota_status_nouser = DUNNO quota_status_overquota = 552 5.2.2 Mailbox is full quota_status_success = DUNNO sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_extensions = +notify +imapflags sieve_max_actions = 250 sieve_max_redirects = 200 zlib_save = gz zlib_save_level = 6 } protocols = " imap lmtp sieve pop3 sieve" replication_dsync_parameters = -d -l 300 -U -N service aggregator { fifo_listener replication-notify-fifo { user = vmail } unix_listener replication-notify { user = vmail } } service auth { unix_listener auth-userdb { group = vmail user = vmail } } service dict { unix_listener dict { group = vmail mode = 0660 user = vmail } } service doveadm { inet_listener { port = 24245 } } service imap-login { process_min_avail = 16 service_count = 0 } service imap { executable = imap postlogin process_limit = 30000 } service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { port = 24 } vsz_limit = 1 G } service managesieve-login { inet_listener sieve { port = 4190 } } service managesieve { process_limit = 1024 } service pop3-login { process_min_avail = 4 service_count = 0 } service pop3 { process_limit = 2500 } service postlogin { executable = script-login -d rawlog /usr/local/bin/dovecot-postlogin.sh } service quota-status { client_limit = 1 executable = quota-status -p postfix inet_listener { port = 12340 } } service replicator { process_min_avail = 1 unix_listener replicator-doveadm { mode = 0600 user = vmail } } shutdown_clients = no ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/private/fullchain.pem ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/privkey.pem syslog_facility = local6 userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext default_fields = home=/var/vmail/%Ld/%Ln quota_rule=*:bytes=8589934592 driver = ldap } verbose_proctitle = yes protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = " zlib quota acl notify replication sieve quota" } protocol lda { mail_plugins = " zlib quota acl notify replication sieve" } protocol imap { imap_metadata = yes mail_max_userip_connections = 100 mail_plugins = " zlib quota acl notify replication imap_quota imap_acl" } protocol pop3 { mail_max_userip_connections = 10 mail_plugins = " zlib quota acl notify replication" }

Panic: file istream-zlib.c: ...assertion failed: (ret == -1) / core dump on signal 6 / zlib
by C. Bernard 15 Jan '17

Hello! I have several gzip'ed mbox Files in my home dir and the problem occurs when I use one of the gzip'ed files as shown mbox in the gui and want to see one mail of it. It also happens on the extended search from Horde which then such a gzip'ed file. Example file: # file In_2014.gz In_2014.gz: gzip compressed data, was "In_2014", last modified: Wed Dec 2 10:53:22 2015, from Unix This happens with any gz Files. That's why I tried to sort out any problem else before submitting this. Directly connecting to dovecot imap (circumvention imapproxy) shows the same error. This setup was in place for 4 years with another server: It did not occur with dovecot 2.2.25 an up-imapproxy1.2.7 (Horde 5.2.12/imp5.2.16) on FreeBsd9.3-p55 (my old server). (I did not update to 2.2.27 on the last server as the maintainer just removed the ssl option from config I...and I knew I would update anyway soon,so I have no test of 2.2.27 with the old setup) The actual setup as follows: System is 10.3-RELEASE-p15 on amd64 Horde ist 5.2.13 / imp 6.2.17 / php-horde_lz4-1.0.7_1 (which is I guess unused here) Lz4 is liblz4-131 FS is UFS connection: Horde webmail -> 1143:imapproxyd:143 -> dovceot imap (or directly -> same) Jan 15 08:40:58 server dovecot: imap(xxx): Panic: file istream-zlib.c: line 416 (i_stream_zlib_seek): assertion failed: (ret == -1) Jan 15 08:40:59 server kernel: pid 73887 (imap), uid 1000: exited on signal 6 (core dumped) Jan 15 08:40:59 server dovecot: imap(xxx): Fatal: master: service(imap): child 73887 killed with signal 6 (core dumped) Jan 15 08:40:59 server HORDE: [imp] [fetch] IMAP error reported by server.

TLS feature missing
by Tributh 13 Jan '17

13 Jan '17

Hi, i was using dovecot 2.2.25 compiled with opnessl 1.0.2 I realised with a cipherscan utility that i was able to support mulitiple TLS curves. Now i upgraded to 2.2.27 with opnessl1.1.0 and was falling back to historical stages where my server only servers one TLS-curve: secp384r1 right now. One big reason to compile the new ersion with openssl1.1.0 was to bring CHACHA20-POLY1305 ciphers and X25519 curves to modern clients. The ciphers i am estimating are working fine, but X25519 and also secp521r1 ist now longer supported, like it was in dovecot 2.2.25. Is there something broken? Or a new (know missing) config feature? Or is it a bug ? Regards Torsten
