Background ========== The Cyrus IMAP Server is an efficient, highly-scalable IMAP e-mail server. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-mail/cyrus-imapd < 2.2.10 >= 2.2.10 Description =========== Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the argument parsers of the 'partial' and 'fetch' commands of the Cyrus IMAP Server (CAN-2004-1012, CAN-2004-1013). There are also buffer overflows in the 'imap magic plus' code that are vulnerable to exploitation as well (CAN-2004-1011, CAN-2004-1015). Impact ====== An attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the Cyrus IMAP Server. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Cyrus-IMAP Server users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-mail/cyrus-imapd-2.2.10" References ========== [ 1 ] CAN-2004-1011 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-1011 [ 2 ] CAN-2004-1012 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-1012 [ 3 ] CAN-2004-1013 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-1013 [ 4 ] CAN-2004-1015 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-1015 [ 5 ] e-matters Advisory http://security.e-matters.de/advisories/152004.html [ 6 ] Cyrus IMAP Server ChangeLog http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/download/imapd/changes.html Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200411-34.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
