Detail

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)

The following packages are affected:

cyrus21-imapd

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 2.1.16-6ubuntu0.1. In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

Stefan Esser discovered several buffer overflows in the Cyrus IMAP server. Due to insufficient checking within the argument parser of the "partial" and "fetch" commands, an argument like "body[p" was detected as "body.peek". This could cause a buffer overflow which could be exploited to execute arbitrary attacker-supplied code.

This update also fixes an exploitable buffer overflow that could be triggered in situations when memory allocation fails (i. e. when no free memory is available any more).

Both vulnerabilities can lead to privilege escalation to root.

Id Description
12098 Cyrus IMAP Server FETCH Command Partial Argument Remote Overflow

A remote overflow exists in Cyrus IMAP. The IMAP server incorrectly processes partial FETCH command arguments resulting in an off by one heap overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity.
