The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the cyrus- imapd-3.4.1-6.el9 build changelog.

  - Cyrus IMAP before 3.4.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (multiple-minute daemon hang)     via input that is mishandled during hash-table interaction. Because there are many insertions into a     single bucket, strcmp becomes slow. This is fixed in 3.4.2, 3.2.8, and 3.0.16. (CVE-2021-33582)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3052 advisory.

  - Cyrus IMAP 2.5.x before 2.5.14 and 3.x before 3.0.12 allows privilege escalation because an HTTP request     may be interpreted in the authentication context of an unrelated previous request that arrived over the     same connection. (CVE-2019-18928)

  - Cyrus IMAP before 3.4.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (multiple-minute daemon hang)     via input that is mishandled during hash-table interaction. Because there are many insertions into a     single bucket, strcmp becomes slow. This is fixed in 3.4.2, 3.2.8, and 3.0.16. (CVE-2021-33582)

Cyrus IMAP 3.4.2 Release Notes states :

Fixed CVE-2021-33582: Certain user inputs are used as hash table keys during processing. A poorly chosen string hashing algorithm meant that the user could control which bucket their data was stored in, allowing a malicious user to direct many inputs to a single bucket. Each subsequent insertion to the same bucket requires a strcmp of every other entry in it. At tens of thousands of entries, each new insertion could keep the CPU busy in a strcmp loop for minutes. The string hashing algorithm has been replaced with a better one, and now also uses a random seed per hash table, so malicious inputs cannot be precomputed.

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

The remote CentOS Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CESA-2021:3492 advisory.

  - cyrus-imapd: Denial of service via string hashing algorithm collisions (CVE-2021-33582)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of cyrus-imapd installed on the remote host is prior to 2.4.22-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2021-1725 advisory.

    A flaw was found in cyrus-imapd. A bad string hashing algorithm used in internal hash tables allows user     inputs to be stored in predictable buckets.  A user may cause a CPU denial of service by maliciously     directing many inputs to a single bucket. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system     availability. (CVE-2021-33582)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.
