<title>UW IMAP toolkit: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
<synopsis>
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in the UW IMAP toolkit and the
c-client library, the worst of which leading to the execution of arbitrary
code.

<background>
<p>
The UW IMAP toolkit is a daemon for the IMAP and POP3 network mail
protocols. The c-client library provides an API for IMAP, POP3 and
other protocols.
</p>

<description>
<p>
Multiple vulnerabilities were found in the UW IMAP toolkit:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Aron Andersson and Jan Sahlin of Bitsec reported boundary errors in
the "tmail" and "dmail" utilities when processing overly long mailbox
names, leading to stack-based buffer overflows (CVE-2008-5005).</li>
<li>An error in smtp.c in the c-client library was found, leading to a
NULL pointer dereference vulnerability (CVE-2008-5006).</li>
<li>Ludwig
Nussel reported an off-by-one error in the rfc822_output_char()
function in the RFC822BUFFER routines in the c-client library, as used
by the UW IMAP toolkit (CVE-2008-5514).</li>
</ul>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
A remote attacker could send an e-mail to a destination mailbox name
composed of a username and '+' character followed by a long string,
possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code. A local attacker
could gain privileges by specifying a long folder extension argument to
the tmail or dmail program. Furthermore, a remote attacker could send a
specially crafted mail message to the UW IMAP toolkit or another daemon
using the c-client library, leading to a Denial of Service. A remote
SMTP server could respond to the QUIT command with a close of the TCP
connection instead of the expected 221 response code, possibly leading
to a Denial of Service.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All c-client library users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-libs/c-client-2007e"</code>
<p>
All UW IMAP toolkit users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-mail/uw-imap-2007e"</code>
