Description The issue allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions via a request to read or modify a mailbox, due to incorrect interpretation of an ACL entry as a directive to add to the permissions granted by another ACL entry, instead of a directive to replace the permissions granted by another ACL entry, in certain circumstances involving the private namespace of a user.
