Package : uw-imap
Vulnerability : buffer overflows, null pointer dereference
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-5005 CVE-2008-5006
command with a close of the TCP connection instead of the expected
221 response code (CVE-2008-5006).
Off-by-one error in the rfc822_output_char function in the RFC822BUFFER
routines in the University of Washington (UW) c-client library, as
used by the UW IMAP toolkit before imap-2007e and other applications,
allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash)
via an e-mail message that triggers a buffer overflow (CVE-2008-5514).
The updated packages have been patched to prevent this. Note that the
software was renamed to c-client starting from Mandriva Linux 2009.0
command with a close of the TCP connection instead of the expected
221 response code (CVE-2008-5006).
