Description:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in NeoMail, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.
The vulnerability is caused due to missing validation of the Session ID in the "addfolder()" and "deletefolder()" functions in neomail-prefs.pl. This can be exploited to create mail-folder files in arbitrary directories writable by the mail group (e.g. in users' "/var/neomail/users" NeoMail directories), and to delete mail-folder files created by arbitrary users if the names of the folder files are known.
Successful exploitation requires that NeoMail is configured with $homedirfolders = 'no' and $homedirspools = 'no'.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1.28. Prior versions may also be affected.
