fedora
Calendar Grey November 5, 2008
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Debian 10 patch resolves severe safety flaws in dovecot impacting pop3 and imap, bolstering network security.
Addresses a security vulnerability in tmail and dmail:

Summary

The uw-imap package provides UW server daemons for both the IMAP (Internet

Message Access Protocol) and POP (Post Office Protocol) mail access

protocols. The POP protocol uses a "post office" machine to collect

mail for users and allows users to download their mail to their local

machine for reading. The IMAP protocol allows a user to read mail on a

remote machine without downloading it to their local machine.
