Mandriva Advisories

Package name imap
Date June 11th, 2001
Advisory ID MDKSA-2001:054
Affected versions 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, CS1.0
Synopsis Updated imap packages fix several buffer overflow vulnerabilities

Problem Description

Several buffer overflow vulnerabilities have been found in the UW-IMAP
package by the authors and independant groups. These vulnerabilities
can be exploited only once a user has authenticated which limits the
extent of the vulnerability to a remote shell with that user's
permissions. On systems where the user already has a shell, nothing
new will be provided to that user, unless the user has only local shell
access. On systems where the email accounts do not provide shell
access, however, the problem is much greater.

Upgrade

To upgrade automatically, use MandrivaUpdate.


Verification

Please verify the update prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of the downloaded package. You can do this with the command :

                rpm --checksig package.rpm
                

You can get the GPG public key of the Mandriva Security Team to verify the GPG signature of each RPM.

If you use MandrivaUpdate, the verification of md5 checksum and GPG signature is performed automatically for you.
