RedHat: RHSA-2009-0275:01 Moderate: imap security update
Summary
The imap package provides server daemons for both the IMAP (Internet
Message Access Protocol) and POP (Post Office Protocol) mail access protocols.
A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the dmail and tmail mail delivery
utilities shipped with imap. If either of these utilities were used as a
mail delivery agent, a remote attacker could potentially use this flaw to
run arbitrary code as the targeted user by sending a specially-crafted mail
message to the victim. (CVE-2008-5005)
Users of imap should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch to resolve this issue.
Summary
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
