security advisory security update debian remote execution arbitrary command uw-imap

Summary

This update disables access to IMAP mailboxes through running imapd over
rsh, and therefore ssh for users of the client application. Code which
uses the library can still enable it with tcp_parameters() after making
sure that the IMAP server name is sanitized.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version
8:2007f~dfsg-4+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your uw-imap packages.
