Detail
| Synopsis Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in the UW IMAP toolkit and the c-client library, the worst of which leading to the execution of arbitrary code. Background Description * Aron Andersson and Jan Sahlin of Bitsec reported boundary errors in the "tmail" and "dmail" utilities when processing overly long mailbox names, leading to stack-based buffer overflows (CVE-2008-5005). * An error in smtp.c in the c-client library was found, leading to a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability (CVE-2008-5006). * Ludwig Nussel reported an off-by-one error in the rfc822_output_char() function in the RFC822BUFFER routines in the c-client library, as used by the UW IMAP toolkit (CVE-2008-5514). Impact Workaround Resolution All UW IMAP toolkit users should upgrade to the latest version: References Availability http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200911-03.xml |

| Title: | DSA-1685 uw-imap -- buffer overflows, null pointer dereference | ||
| Description: | Two vulnerabilities have been found in uw-imap, an IMAP implementation. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: It was discovered that several buffer overflows can be triggered via a long folder extension argument to the tmail or dmail program. This could lead to arbitrary code execution (CVE-2008-5005). It was discovered that a NULL pointer dereference could be triggered by a malicious response to the QUIT command leading to a denial of service (CVE-2008-5006). | ||
