SQL injection vulnerability in the LDAP and MySQL authentication patch for Cyrus SASL 1.5.24 and 1.5.27 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands and log in as arbitrary POP mail users via the password.

Cyrus IMAP before 3.8.3 and 3.10.x before 3.10.0-rc1 allows authenticated attackers to cause unbounded memory allocation by sending many LITERALs in a single command.

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.

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.

imap/nntpd.c in the NNTP server (nntpd) for Cyrus IMAPd 2.4.x before 2.4.12 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication by sending an AUTHINFO USER command without sending an additional AUTHINFO PASS command.

In the mboxlistdofind function in imap/mboxlist.c in Cyrus IMAP before 3.0.4, an off-by-one error in prefix calculation for the LIST command caused use of uninitialized memory, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a 'LIST "" "Other Users"' command.

Multiple buffer overflows in Cyrus SASL library 2.1.9 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via (1) long inputs during user name canonicalization, (2) characters that need to be escaped during LDAP authentication using saslauthd, or (3) an off-by-one error in the log writer, which does not allocate space for the null character that terminates a string.

The (1) libsasl and (2) libsasl2 libraries in Cyrus-SASL 2.1.18 and earlier trust the SASLPATH environment variable to find all available SASL plug-ins, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code by modifying the SASLPATH to point to malicious programs.

Buffer overflow in digestmd5.c CVS release 1.170 (also referred to as digestmda5.c), as used in the DIGEST-MD5 SASL plugin for Cyrus-SASL but not in any official releases, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

digestmd5.c in the CMU Cyrus Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) library 2.1.18, and possibly other versions before 2.1.21, allows remote unauthenticated attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via malformed inputs in DIGEST-MD5 negotiation.

The indexurlfetch function in index.c in Cyrus IMAP 2.3.x before 2.3.19, 2.4.x before 2.4.18, 2.5.x before 2.5.4 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors related to the urlfetch range, which triggers an out-of-bounds heap read.

Integer overflow in the indexurlfetch function in imap/index.c in Cyrus IMAP 2.3.19, 2.4.18, and 2.5.6 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors related to urlfetch range checks and the sectionoffset variable. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-8076.

Integer overflow in the indexurlfetch function in imap/index.c in Cyrus IMAP 2.3.19, 2.4.18, and 2.5.6 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors related to urlfetch range checks and the startoctet variable. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-8076.

Cyrus IMAP before 3.0.3 allows remote authenticated users to write to arbitrary files via a crafted (1) SYNCAPPLY, (2) SYNCGET or (3) SYNCRESTORE command.

Cyrus IMAP before 3.2.7, and 3.3.x and 3.4.x before 3.4.1, allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions on server annotations and consequently cause replication to stall.

It was found, that Cyrus IMAP recognized IMAP, LMTP, NNTP and POP3 protocol commands during plaintex to TLS session switch (by TLS protocol initialization). A remote attacker could use this flaw to insert plaintext, protocol relevant, commands into TLS protocol initialization messages, leading to execution of these commands during the ciphertext protocol phase, potentially allowing the attacker to steal the victim's mail or authentication credentials.
