CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
PACKAGE : imap
SUMMARY : Remote buffer overflow
DATE : 2001-03-19 16:51:00
ID : CLA-2001:388
RELEVANT
RELEASES : 4.0, 4.0es, 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, prg graficos, ecommerce, 5.1, 6.0
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
"imap" is a package which contains POP3 and IMAP mail servers.
Several buffer overflow vulnerabilities have been found in this
package by their authors and by independent groups
(www.bufferoverflow.org has published an exploit for one of these
vulnerabilities).
These vulnerabilities can be exploited only after user
authentication, which basically limits the scope of the vulnerability
to a remote shell with that user's permissions. On systems where
users already have a shell, this vulnerability will not provide
anything new to that user (unless he/she has only local shell
access). But, on systems where the email accounts do not provide
shell access (tipically ISPs), this is a bigger problem.
It is also important to note that packages from version 5.1 or higher
of the CL distribution have been compiled with StackGuard, which
makes it more difficult (but not impossible) to exploit buffer
overflows of this type.
SOLUTION
The packages offered here include many security fixes from the latest
beta version of imap at that time (snapshot 0102232125), and also fix
the specific problem the published exploit attacks. It is recommended
that all imap users update their packages, specially if their systems
provide mail access without remote shell accounts.
