Summary
Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) is affected, specifically its mailbox quota tracking for shared files. An authenticated user can repeatedly share and revoke a document to make another user's mailbox quota fill up without that recipient doing anything, which can block incoming mail and other operations that increase mailbox size.

Read the original description
A mailbox quota-accounting vulnerability in Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) allows an authenticated user to consume another user’s mailbox quota by repeatedly sharing and revoking a document. Creation of the recipient’s shared-file record charges the document size to mailbox-wide usage. Revocation deletes the record and reverses its folder counters without reversing the mailbox-wide charge. Repeated normal share notifications therefore accumulate quota usage after the visible records are gone. On accounts with a finite quota, this can prevent incoming mail and other size-increasing operations without recipient interaction. The issue affects ZCS 10.1.16 and 10.1.20.
