+  <background>
+    <p>
+    Dovecot is an IMAP and POP3 server written with security primarily in
+    mind.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Several vulnerabilities were found in Dovecot:
+    </p>
+    <ul>
+    <li>The "k"
+    right in the acl_plugin does not work as expected (CVE-2008-4577,
+    CVE-2008-4578)</li>
+    <li>The dovecot.conf is world-readable, providing
+    improper protection for the ssl_key_password setting
+    (CVE-2008-4870)</li>
+    <li>A permanent Denial of Service with broken mail
+    headers is possible (CVE-2008-4907)</li>
+    </ul>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    These vulnerabilities might allow a remote attacker to cause a Denial
+    of Service, to circumvent security restrictions or allow local
+    attackers to disclose the passphrase of the SSL private key.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Dovecot users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-mail/dovecot-1.1.7-r1&quot;</code>
+    <p>
+    Users should be aware that dovecot.conf will still be world-readable
+    after the update. If employing ssl_key_password, it should not be used
+    in dovecot.conf but in a separate file which should be included with
+    "include_try".
+    </p>
+  </resolution>
