Synopsis: Important: cyrus-imapd security update
Issue Date: 2011-09-19
CVE Numbers: CVE-2011-3208

The cyrus-imapd packages contain a high-performance mail server with
IMAP, POP3, NNTP, and Sieve support.

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the cyrus-imapd NNTP server, nntpd.
A remote user able to use the nntpd service could use this flaw to crash
the nntpd child process or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the cyrus user. (CVE-2011-3208)

Users of cyrus-imapd are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing
the update, cyrus-imapd will be restarted automatically.
