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.
