Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2022.0296
Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2022-0296)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'dovecot' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2022-0296 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'dovecot' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2022-0296 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: An issue was discovered in the auth component in Dovecot 2.2 and 2.3 before 2.3.20. When two passdb configuration entries exist with the same driver and args settings, 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 in certain configurations. The documentation does not advise against the use of passdb definitions that 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. (CVE-2022-30550) Affected Software/OS: 'dovecot' package(s) on Mageia 8. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 9.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C
