>Description:

There were two vulnerabilities in the ACL handling for Dovecot prior
to the 1.1.4 [1]:
-----
- ACL plugin fixes: Negative rights were actually treated as positive
  rights. 'k' right didn't prevent creating parent/child/child mailbox.
  ACL groups weren't working.

I am putting '< 1.1.6' because FreeBSD ports version line was the
following: ... -> 1.1.3 -> 1.1.6.
