Debian DSA-597-1 : cyrus-imapd - buffer overflow

critical Nessus Plugin ID 15830

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Stefan Esser discovered several security related problems in the Cyrus IMAP daemon. Due to a bug in the command parser it is possible to access memory beyond the allocated buffer in two places which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

Solution

Upgrade the cyrus-imapd package immediately.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 1.5.19-9.2
