RHSA-2009:0275: Moderate: imap security update
First published: Thu Feb 19 2009(Updated: )
The imap package provides server daemons for both the IMAP (Internet<br>Message Access Protocol) and POP (Post Office Protocol) mail access protocols.<br>A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the dmail and tmail mail delivery<br>utilities shipped with imap. If either of these utilities were used as a<br>mail delivery agent, a remote attacker could potentially use this flaw to<br>run arbitrary code as the targeted user by sending a specially-crafted mail<br>message to the victim. (CVE-2008-5005)<br>Users of imap should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a<br>backported patch to resolve this issue.
