Synopsis:	Moderate: imap security update
Issue date:	2009-02-19
CVE Names:	CVE-2008-5005

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)
