Vulnerability Insight:
Two vulnerabilities in Dovecot allow for information disclosure and
argument injection.

Solution:
All Dovecot users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=net-mail/dovecot-1.0.13-r1'

This version removes the 'mail_extra_groups' option and introduces a
'mail_privileged_group' setting which is handled safely.
