Package: dovecot-common
Version: 1:1.2.15-7
Severity: grave
Tags: security squeeze upstream
Justification: user security hole

Hi there,

I guess everybody knows by now that CVE-2014-3566 changes the status
of SSLv3 from mostly-obsolete to mostly-broken.

Unfortunately dovecot previous to 2.1 doesn't distinguish between security
protocols and cyphers. Therefore simply disabling SSLv3 in dovecot.conf
like this

ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:!SSLv3

will apparently disable all cyphers.

There is a simple one line patch available for dovecot 2.0.
Maybe a similar way exists for 1.2.

best regards
-henrik

Squeeze is no longer supported (not even LTS supported), and this bug is 
already fixed in oldstable.
