Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.146616
Category:Denial of Service
Title:Cyrus IMAP < 3.0.16, 3.2.x < 3.2.8, 3.4.x < 3.4.2 DoS Vulnerability
Summary:Cyrus IMAP is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability.
Description:Summary:
Cyrus IMAP is prone to a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability.

Vulnerability Insight:
Certain user inputs are used as hash table keys during
processing. A poorly chosen string hashing algorithm meant that the user could control which
bucket their data was stored in, allowing a malicious user to direct many inputs to a single
bucket. Each subsequent insertion to the same bucket requires a strcmp of every other entry in
it. At tens of thousands of entries, each new insertion could keep the CPU busy in a strcmp loop
for minutes.

Affected Software/OS:
Cyrus IMAP prior to version 3.0.16, version 3.2.x through
3.2.7 and 3.4.x through 3.4.1.

Solution:
Update to version 3.0.16, 3.2.8, 3.4.2 or later.

CVSS Score:
5.0
