This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
  dovecot-common                           1.0.beta3-3ubuntu5.5

Ubuntu 6.10:
  dovecot-common                           1.0.rc2-1ubuntu2.2

Ubuntu 7.04:
  dovecot-common                           1.0.rc17-1ubuntu2.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.

Details follow:

It was discovered that Dovecot, when configured to use non-system-user
spools and compressed folders, would allow directory traversals in
mailbox names.  Remote authenticated users could potentially read email
owned by other users.
