Ludwig Nussel reported a flaw in libc-client / uw-imap:
The rfc822outputchar() function in the uw-imap c-client library does not check whether the buffer is already full and may therefore write one byte too much. This leads to a segfault in rfc822outputdata() later due to memcpy with size -1.
Issue was fixed in imap-2007e: Updated: 16 December 2008
imap-2007e is a maintenance release, consisting primarily of bugfixes to problems discovered in the release that affected a small number of users plus a security fix for users of the RFC822BUFFER routines.
Integer signedness error in rfc2231getparam from strings.c in PINE before 4.58 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an email that causes an out-of-bounds array access using a negative number.
Buffer overflow in PINE before 4.58 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed message/external-body MIME type.
The IMAP Client for Sylpheed 0.8.11 allows remote malicious IMAP servers to cause a denial of service (crash) via certain large literal size values that cause either integer signedness errors or integer overflow errors.
c-client IMAP Client, as used in imap-2002b and Pine 4.53, allows remote malicious IMAP servers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via certain large (1) literal and (2) mailbox size values that cause either integer signedness errors or integer overflow errors.
The c-client library in Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) dated before 2002 RC2, as used by Pine 4.20 through 4.44, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (client crash) via a MIME-encoded email with Content-Type header containing an empty boundary field.
Pine 4.2.1 through 4.4.4 puts Unix usernames and/or uid into Sender: and X-Sender: headers, which could allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information.
Pine before version 4.21 does not properly filter shell metacharacters from URLs, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a malformed URL.
Pine 4.x allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands via an index.html file which executes lynx and obtains a uudecoded file from a malicious web server, which is then executed by Pine.
Buffer overflow in University of Washington imapd version 4.7 allows users with a valid account to execute commands via LIST or other commands.
IMAP 4.1 BETA, and possibly other versions, does not properly handle the SIGABRT (abort) signal, which allows local users to crash the server (imapd) via certain sequences of commands, which causes a core dump that may contain sensitive password information.
Pine before version 3.94 allows local users to gain privileges via a symlink attack on a lockfile that is created when a user receives new mail.
wu-ftp with FTP conversion enabled allows an attacker to execute commands via a malformed file name that is interpreted as an argument to the program that does the conversion, e.g. tar or uncompress.
Buffer overflow in the pop-2d POP daemon in the IMAP package allows remote attackers to gain privileges via the FOLD command.
The GNU tar command, when used in FTP sessions, may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands.
Buffer overflow in University of Washington's implementation of IMAP and POP servers.
Arbitrary command execution via IMAP buffer overflow in authenticate command.
MIME buffer overflow in email clients, e.g. Solaris mailtool and Outlook.
POP2 or POP3 server (pop3d) in imap-uw IMAP package on FreeBSD and other operating systems creates lock files with predictable names, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (lack of mail access) for other users by creating lock files for other mail boxes.
Buffer overflow in the automatic mail checking component of Pine 4.21 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long From: header.
Buffer overflow in University of Washington c-client library (used by pine and other programs) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long X-Keywords header.
Vulnerability in (1) pine before 4.33 and (2) the pico editor, included with pine, allows local users local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
Buffer overflows in Washington University imapd 2000a through 2000c could allow local users without shell access to execute code as themselves in certain configurations.
The default configuration of University of Washington IMAP daemon (wu-imapd), when running on a system that does not allow shell access, allows a local user with a valid IMAP account to read arbitrary files as that user.
Pine 4.44 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (core dump and failed restart) via an email message with a From header that contains a large number of quotation marks (").
Buffer overflow in University of Washington imap server (uw-imapd) imap-2001 (imapd 2001.315) and imap-2001a (imapd 2001.315) with legacy RFC 1730 support, and imapd 2000.287 and earlier, allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a long BODY request.
URL-handling code in Pine 4.43 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a URL enclosed in single quotes and containing shell metacharacters (&).
Buffer overflow in the mailvalidnetparsework function in mail.c for Washington's IMAP Server (UW-IMAP) before imap-2004g allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a mailbox name containing a single double-quote (") character without a closing quote, which causes bytes after the double-quote to be copied into a buffer indefinitely.
Race condition in rpdump in Pine 4.62 and earlier allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack.
A logic error in the CRAM-MD5 code for the University of Washington IMAP (UW-IMAP) server, when Challenge-Response Authentication Mechanism with MD5 (CRAM-MD5) is enabled, does not properly enforce all the required conditions for successful authentication, which allows remote attackers to authenticate as arbitrary users.
